Maybe you can settle a discussion for us.

Is there a username or something that can apper where a username should be,
called Everyone?


Seems some people have seen it but do not know what it is.


Thanks

It's a group.
You are a member.

Can I look at something that relates to that group?
How, maybe show members or something?
Can it own a file?

Well, you can assign it to files/folders... You can see it there when you
add the name 'everyone' to a file or folder's permission group.

"Everyone" is "Everyone"... EVERY ONE is a member - well, unless you are
anonymous. ;-)

No.

It's built-in, you cannot modify its membership AFAIK. You have a valid
account on the machine/on a network - you are a member of said group. It
*used* to include even anonymous users (so you did not even have to have a
valid account to be a member) - but at some point - that changed.
