I have an app that doesn't require a login, therefore there is no session token. I have a database with static data which needs no security (read only). How do I access this, as when i create a database service it requires the session token.

Hello Terry,
Please clarify, did you set the collection setting "Secure collection" = true?
Bu default, database rows are available for all users without sessionToken.
Could you please provide us with more details, screenshots or exact steps to reproduce this problem?

I haven't set Secure Collection = true, but I see a header for session token in the service.
Are you saying that I can leave that setting blank?

Terry,
In case you want to identify the user despite having no login required you can read the device ID of the user:
var mydevice = device.uuid;
localStorage.setItem("device_uuid", mydevice);

Thanks for the update Bernie.
In this situation, however, it is a completely anonymous app.
