Anonymous mode is acceptable for:
- Single admin systems
- Simple deployments that only protect ESAM artifacts
- Environments that do not need ESAM identities or role-based authorization
If customers need auditability, multiple administrators, or stronger governance, direct them to convert the installation to managed mode
