I am setting up WebLink and have my read only user created. I've setup the user in the weblink admin console to the default login. I've created an empty folder and given this user permission to only this folder in the repository (testing purposes). If I log into the weblink portal as this user and do a search, 500+ documents come up that this user DOES NOT have access rights to. I couldn't find anywhere in the documentation or the setup steps to configure the search function. Am I missing something?

Does the Everyone group have access to those documents? Or does either the Everyone group or the WebLink user have the Bypass Browse feature right?

It appears the Everyone group has access to certain folders throughout the repository. I don't recall ever granting access to that group so I guess I'll need to try and find out what folders the group has access to so I can change them. Thank you for your help Mike.
