Trust logged-in users

Feature

Trust logged-in users — Reduces score or bypasses certain checks for authenticated users to minimize false positives.

How it works

If enabled, the engine treats logged-in users as lower risk (configurable), which helps membership and community sites.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Trust settings section
  3. Toggle “Trust logged-in users”.

Recommended setting

Recommended: ON for membership/community sites; OFF for open registrations with frequent compromised accounts.

Trusted sessions reduce friction for real users; turn off only if you see abuse from compromised accounts.

Why you need this

Admins keep UX smooth for known users while still protecting public endpoints.
