Access to familysearch for non-members - is it the same as LDS members?

Whatever works best for you is fine. There is no one right way to accomplish a task.

A van Helsdingen said: The restrictions are due to contracts that have been agreed by both the owners/custodians and FamilySearch. Sometimes the custodian is not the archive or library that holds the records but one of Ancestry.com, MyHeritage or FindMyPast. While the record owners would have the greater bargaining power when negotiating the contracts, FamilySearch is also responsible for the situation.

Jeff Wiseman said: Antti,
Yes, FS does ultimately control access, but if they violated terms of their agreement with the record custodians, the custodians would remove all of their collections from FS access and then nobody would be able to see them.
