A mechanism is provided for managing access authorization to forums open to anonymous users within an organization. A token distributor application provides a unique token to each member of a community or organization. The application is trusted by all members to not store an association between the authenticated user and the token when a token is assigned. The only control exerted by the token distributor is to block users who have already obtained a token from receiving another token. The communication tool or collaboration space may accept creation of a new anonymous identity, such as a nickname, to any individual supplying a token assigned by the token distributor application. An administrator may ban users by token. A banned user cannot access the communication tool or collaboration space using a nickname associated with a banned token.
