# Submit post without login

 * Hi –
 * I would like to use this plugin for a competition app I’m building. So is it 
   possible to submit posts without having a user login? I’ve retrieved the nonce
   etc but get the response that you need to “login with a user who has ‘edit posts’
   credentials”.
 * Is there a way to bypass this without compromising the security of my website?
 * Thanks,
    Helen

 * You could either:
 * 1. Use the “json api user” plugin to auto-register a user (perhaps later ensuring
   security via email validation), then submit the post with that user.
 * 2. Edit the json api code to not check to ensure the user has the edit posts 
   permission. I don’t believe there is any inherent limitation to doing this, though
   I haven’t tried it, so I may be wrong.
