How to allow sign-ups without confirmation as an exception using devise confirmable?

+3
−0

I use the devise authentication gem for a Rails application and it's very convenient.

Typically I want my users to confirm their registration by email. Therefore the User model looks like

class User < ApplicationRecord

  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :confirmable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable,

and it works like a charm. All users wanting to sign up must confirm their registration.

Now, as an exception, I sometimes also want to sign up users without confirmation at all. For example, imagine an administrator that creates new users on the fly.

How do I do that?

I tried to create a new user and with user.skip_confirmation! from the documentation of confirmable I can finish the confirmation, but the confirmation email gets send out anyway when the user is created. I want to skip the confirmation and not send that email.

How can I optionally suppress the whole confirmation process including sending out of an email if I use :confirmable otherwise?

Maybe some kind of pre-confirmation is possible?

Searching for this only delivered general configuration information for devise.

You should be able to pre-set confirmed_at when you create the User instance:

user = User.new(confirmed_at: DateTime.now) # plus any other details you want
user.save!

Works but does it mean normal users can get around the confirmation (2 comments)
