[Rails] [UserEngine] Configuring minimal access without logins

[Nathaniel S. H. Brown]

Hey Dave,

There is a role called Guest which will do precisely what you are after.

The bootstrap should have inserted three roles, if not try running it again
and check your /role/ list while logged in as admin to see if it is there.

It will not be available to users as it is intended for users with no
username.
