Per-document reader access likely won't be 1.0 feature. It's not hard
to add the restriction to the database, but it's much harder to add it
to the view engine to filter out docs from maps and reductions that
the user cannot read.

Hi All,
I'm thinking of building an app using CouchDB, but I need to be able
to
restrict certain users from retrieving certain docs and views. As
far as I
can tell from searching the web, the mailing list, and the wiki, that
feature's not yet built.
I know I could achieve the desired features by building a server-side
"proxy" app which would validate requests before passing them to
Couch,
but one of the things that attracts me to CouchDB is the possibility
of
building 2-tier apps instead of 3 tiers; i.e. just DOM/Javascript
and Couch.
So I'm just wondering: does anyone have a sense of when this
functionality
might be landing in trunk?
Thanks!
Avi
