Creating a Site Collection from Central Admin Site adds "NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" and "true" to the Sites Users.

Hi All,

Whenever I create a site Collection from Central Admin Site , then browsing the site I found NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" and "true" listed under /_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0. Any idea what needs to be done to avoid these 2 users/groups getting added to my site.

"NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" group encompasses all users who have logged in with username and password. When you create a new site collection, "NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" group will automatically be created. I don’t think it’s possible to avoid automatically creating "NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" group.

And I can’t find "true" group in my new site collection. What group does it specifically refer to?

When I create a different site using some template , I do not see both of these "NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" and "True" groups. But for other template these 2 groups do get added.

What site templates not have "NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users" and "True" groups?
