Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Start a keystone project with auth: false, load /keystone

Expected behavior

We can access the admin UI, even if we are not logged in

Actual behavior

Admin UI fails to load with 500 error Cannot read property 'id' of undefined, which comes from keystone/admin/server/routes/index.js:39

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the route handler at admin/server/routes/index.js:39 to understand why `id` is undefined when auth is disabled. Trace the authentication middleware to see if it sets a user object that later is expected to have an `id` property.
