fkaempfer commented on issue #475: COUCHDB-3367: Require server admin user for db/_compact and db/_view_cleanup endpoints URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/475#issuecomment-298887096 I verified that the behaviour of 1.6.1 is indeed that db admins are also allowed to perform compaction: - anonymous: disallowed - member: disallowed - db admin: allowed - server admin: allowed I guess the same is true for view compaction, which I have not tested. This would mean the pull request needs to be changed to get the actual permission response from the corresponding shard via RPC as far as I understand. This is a bit more tricky to implement and requires changing a couple of method signatures. If you think it's worth persuing I can try doing it. Or perhaps you prefer that somebody from the CouchDB team does it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
