[FIX]: Allow Access to Unauthenticated Features

[Ofektom]

Description

Ensure that certain features of the application can be accessed without requiring user authentication. This allows users to interact with basic functionalities without needing to log in, providing a smoother user experience for first-time or casual users.

Acceptance Criteria

1. fix security configuration to permit unauthenticated user access unprotected features
2. Ensure secure access to unauthenticated features without exposing sensitive data.
3. Test that authenticated features remain protected and are not accessible without proper login.

Purpose

To allow users to access specific features of the application without requiring authentication, thereby improving the accessibility and user experience for non-registered or logged-out users.

Requirements

• Implement logic in the backend to differentiate between authenticated and unauthenticated features.
• Ensure that unauthenticated features are properly secured and do not compromise the application’s security.
• Conduct tests to ensure that the logic correctly allows or restricts access based on the user’s authentication status.

Expected Outcome

Users can access designated unauthenticated features of the application without logging in, while all other features remain protected and require authentication.
