问题
I'm trying to setup a CouchDB database that could be publicly writable and only readable by the "admin" role. How can I do this. Is there a similar validate_doc_update function for accessing a document ?
回答1:
One possible workaround would be to "abuse" Apache for this (though not 100% secure):
You can use Apache to disallow GET from everyone except specific hosts which are the ones the admin uses... this way the users can write but can't read and the admin can read...
You could even have different URLs for admin (read+write) and users (write only) if you config Apache as reverse proxy...
回答2:
Check out this page on the wiki, it provides an introduction to setting up read/write-level security on a database level.
As of CouchDB 1.1.0, it is not possible to have write access but not also read access to a database. What you can do is write to database A and then replicate that into database B, and only the admin can read database B.
