Hi,

I am trying to secure access to some of our content.

Case:

   1. User reads our content and completes the feedback form.
   2. A file is saved in our "Feedback" database for each form that is
   submitted.

Security:

   - Let anonymous users WRITE to the DB using the web form
   - Do not allow unauthenticated users to READ comments.

Solution so far to avoid making user/password known:

   1. Save feedback in an unsecured DB.
   2. Redirect to function that moves the feedback file to a secured DB.

Issue:

   - Security seems to limit access to files when they are addressed as
   db:open(DB, path).
   - All functions that grab data, crunch the data and display it in an
   HTML table seem to remain available to everyone.

Questions:

   - Instead of securing the DB, we were thinking of securing the
   functions: Open access to 'submit-comment' for all users, require
   authentication for all other functions.
   Is this possible, if so can you point me to useful documentation?
   - Do you have any other suggestion?
