Date: 2025-06-25
Auditor: Roo
Context: Following fix of search authentication issues, comprehensive audit to identify other unnecessary authentication requirements

Audit Scope

What Should Be PUBLIC (no authentication required):

Viewing park details, ride details, lists
Searching parks, rides, manufacturers, designers
Browsing content (categories, lists, etc.)
Autocomplete functionality for search
Reading reviews/ratings
Viewing photos and media

What Should REQUIRE Authentication:

Creating/editing parks, rides, content
Submitting reviews, photos, content
Administrative functions
User account management
Moderation actions

Previous Issues Fixed

RideSearchView: Removed unnecessary LoginRequiredMixin
Search helper functions: Removed @login_required from manufacturers, designers, ride_models functions

Audit Methodology

Search for all LoginRequiredMixin instances
Search for all @login_required decorator instances
Examine each for necessity
Check URL patterns for authentication middleware
Review autocomplete/AJAX endpoints
Test public accessibility
