Klaus Trainer commented on COUCHDB-2191:
----------------------------------------
This is a good idea, and I'd like to have couchperuser included as well.
Also, I'd volunteer for doing part of the integration work that needs to be
done as soon as we decide to include it. In fact, I've already done part of it
by making it work with our CouchDB 2.0 codebase (see the couchdb-2.0 branch
[here|https://github.com/KlausTrainer/couchperuser]).
> Please consider including couchperuser in core

> Key: COUCHDB-2191
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2191
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Reporter: Nolan Lawson
>
> I would love to be able to use CouchDB as the exclusive backend for all my
> webapps. The {{_users}} database with the automatic password salting/hashing
> and session cookies is brilliant, and saves a lot of developer effort while
> still ensuring I don't shoot myself in the foot trying to implement password
> security.
> However, without creating a database per user, it's impossible to silo user
> data in any way other than through {{validate_doc_update}} - i.e. every user
> can see everybody else's data, but they can only write to theirs. This use
> case does exist (e.g. Twitter), but it's much less common than the case where
> users can only read/write their own data.
> The plugin ecosystem is great and all, and I totally understand not wanting
> to include the kitchen sink in Couch core, but I strongly feel
> [couchperuser|https://github.com/etrepum/couchperuser] (or something like it)
> should be a checkbox I can tick in the Couch config, rather than a plugin I
> have to install manually. It's just too common of a use case in typical
> webapps.
> Some background: this was prompted by a [discussion in
> PouchDB|https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/1575]; Dale has written
> a fine solution in
> [couch-persona|https://github.com/daleharvey/couch-persona], but I really
> think the "why Pouch/Couch?" story would be more compelling if you could do
> it in pure Couch without an extra server process.
