I am moving from CouchDB to Couchbase+Sync Gateway and I am not clear on 
how to set up the user-data architecture.

Users will never share information with each other, so I need to keep their 
data separate.
In my CouchDB architecture, I am creating a database per user, so a user 
can only see their documents.


I understand that in Couchbase you use channels to allow access to a subset 
of the documents. 
I want authenticated users to insert documents and be automatically added 
to the user's channel without having to modify the client to provide 
doc.owner


Let's say that my client authenticates to Couchbase  (username: myuser1), 
then using the sync_gateway's sync function, I want to map all documents 
inserted by myuser1 to a channel named myuser1.

Can I make the sync function do that automatically? (Reason being I want 
the session to determine the channel)

Example:
function(doc) {
   channel(authenticatedUser.name) //sets the authenticated username as the 
channel name
}



Or must I force the client to set the attribute doc.owner?

Example:
function(doc) {
   requireUser(doc.owner)
   channel(doc.owner);
}
