- I use the [devise authentication gem](https://github.com/heartcombo/devise) 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](https://www.rubydoc.info/github/heartcombo/devise/master/Devise/Models/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?

How to allow sign-ups without confirmation as an exception using devise confirmable?
I use the [devise authentication gem](https://github.com/heartcombo/devise) 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.
