Research direction

Locate the release task and inspect its existing checks for npm login status and publish permissions. Determine how credentials would be passed, how automatic login and logout should work, and define completion around a release that handles authentication without requiring a pre-existing login.

Description

@matt-gadd commented on Fri Sep 02 2016

The task currently checks whether the user is logged in, and that the user has permissions to publish the package. It might be worth adding the capability to pass credentials to the task and it logging in automatically (as well as logging out after the release is completed).
