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-312950872 Thanks for the comments! I have updated the PR according to @rnewson's request. If I understand correctly, this change now limits _compact to server admins, and disallows it for db admins (contrary to 1.6.1, see the lengthy discussion above). To do this right, something like db_authorization_check_admin could be implemented in chttpd_auth_request.erl. But I don't know if this feature would even be useful - I certainly don't need it and I'm happy with this smaller change going into 2.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
