---------------------------------------
Summary: Only respond to _all_dbs request from server admin
Key: COUCHDB-1588
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1588
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Paul Capestany
Priority: Minor
When spinning up a DB per user (or multiple DBs per user), it could be a matter
of privacy what the DBs are named by any registered user simply doing a
_all_dbs request. Similarly, for a successful app, competitors could use
_all_dbs to get potentially very important info about how many users you have,
growth rate, etc.
So, instead of trying to deal with this _all_dbs request issue via "_all_dbs
should list only the DBs accessible to the user"
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-661), why not just limit the
response to only server admins?
