Let's suppose that you deployed your html to http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb/_design/frontend/Index.htm served by your CouchDB directly. How do you set up in a way that anonymous users are only able to access _design/front-end, but nothing else like futon management pages(_utils) Looks like you may be able to set up an account, but still anonymous users still are able to read futon management page(_utils) for all of database and documents... Thanks,
