Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction for implementing automatic login via url.

I would like to create a generic user account that only has View privileges so that they can see draft pages, without the need for them to have to login via the login page. Is there a way for me to do this?

Thanks,
JK

I recall this being part of 2.4, but I think it has been discontinued for very sound security reasons.
However there is nothing to stop you doing this based on your own security requirements... at the end of the day you need to identify a Member and call the login function only.... Member->get()->first()->logIn();

But I wouldn't advise any of this and instead provide whatever is required after normal authentication, or provide it publically with some other obfuscation like a large random url

Thanks for the advice Swaiba.
