It seems you misunderstand what CRUD is. CRUD isn’t a design concept, it’s just a term used to indicate something provides the basic operations to perform Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete for you. A CRUD-only application can’t have authentication, or anything other than create, retrieve, update or delete for that matter.
Go ahead and implement the features you want, CRUD are just convenience functions.

In the Rails core Q&A video from the conference DHH said Jamis Buck argued persuasively against this. I think it goes
login POST /session/create
logout DELETE /session/destroy
People have also argued that search can be CRUD.
