What do you guys suggest if I don't need Authentication or Authorization
Let's say I don't need Authentication or Authorization for my OpenSaaS project what do you suggest me to do? Should I manually remove, or is there a straight forward way to do it?

Hi @skyblade2954. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, here are some suggestions for handling your OpenSaaS project without authentication or authorization:
1. Remove auth configuration: In your
main.wasp file, you can remove the auth field from your app declaration. This will disable the built-in authentication features Auth Overview (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview).
2. Manual removal: Since OpenSaaS comes with pre-configured auth, you'll need to manually remove auth-related code from your project. This includes:
- Removing auth-related routes and pages
- Removing auth middleware from your operations (queries and actions)
- Removing auth-related components and logic from your frontend
3. Keep the User entity: Even if you don't need authentication, you might want to keep the User entity for other purposes in your application. You can simplify it by removing auth-related fields New Auth Migration (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/migrate-from-0-11-to-0-12#new-auth).
4. Adjust operations: If you had any operations (queries or actions) that were using auth, you'll need to remove the auth-related code from them. In Wasp 0.12.0 and later, you can simply remove the authRequired property from your operations Github Issue #1133 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1133).
5. Update frontend components: Remove any auth-related components or logic from your React components, such as login/signup forms or auth-dependent UI elements.
6. Review and update dependencies: Check if you have any dependencies that were specifically added for auth purposes and remove them if they're no longer needed.
Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward, one-click solution to remove authentication from an OpenSaaS project. You'll need to manually remove the auth-related code and configurations. However, by following these steps, you should be able to strip down the auth features from your project effectively.
Remember to test your application thoroughly after removing authentication to ensure that all features still work as expected without the auth layer.

Sorry @skyblade2954, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?Yep, just remove all the auth related code from Open Saas and you are good to go.
@Vinny (@Wasp) am I right?
Yep. Just remove the auth part from the wasp file and remove the auth folder.
I think it is not enough, I removed every element with authRequired in main.wasp, and auth section inside app. Moreover I removed Auth folder. But it kept giving errors, Let me test it again, and show you the errors
Do you think it is neccesary to remove components if not needed?
Will it consume processing power, or significant space, if unnessary components are not removed?
If you follow the error messages it will tell you what's wrong. probably a file is importing a component you deleted or something like that.
