How to disable bug search without login to bugzilla

I have a bugzilla account, which only authorized users can login and add bugs. Public have no rights to post a bug, edit or comment. But public have privellage to search the bugs.

This is because end users when adding bugs they have to enable an option “Only users in all of the selected groups can view this bug” to restrict the view from public.

Solution : Login as admini user, Navigate to Administration, Parameters, User Authentication
Change the value of requirelogin to On.

While checking my box, i came to know that my time/date is UTC zone. I would like to change the time zone to IST.
