See if "Everybody" or "Guest" have permissions. Generally speaking, you're
looking for ids with access which don't require authentication. For
pre-defined groups, this comes down to the two I mentioned. Theoretically,
others could be created that fit this definition but limit access to just
those within a defined group. I haven't tested the notion. It's just an
idea that seems workable.
