Guest accounts in spotlight/blacklight

[David Zuckerman]

This is in spotlight 0.34.1 using Blacklight 6.8.

I notice that a guest user is created in the db every time a user accesses the site even though they don't specifically create an account. Looks like it's so users can bookmark etc. without specifically creating an account.

Is there a way to turn off this functionality? Can't seem to find anything in the documentation regarding that and doesn't seem possible in the UI.

Thanks,

Dave

Have you tried removing `devise-guests' from the Gemfile?  I think that ought to do it.

I think it’s a little trickier than that. You’ll also need to provide an alternative implementation for `current_or_guest_user` in your ApplicationController (and make it a helper method?), maybe something like:

```

def current_or_guest_user

  current_user || User.new

end

helper_method :current_or_guest_user

```
