Hi!
couch_db:set_security is:
set_security(#db{update_pid=Pid}=Db, {NewSecProps}) when is_list(NewSecProps) ->
check_is_admin(Db),
ok = validate_security_object(NewSecProps),
ok = gen_server:call(Pid, {set_security, NewSecProps}, infinity),
{ok, _} = ensure_full_commit(Db),
ok;
set_security(_, _) ->
throw(bad_request).
So you just mismatch the first clause and falls into second one. You
have no reason to do couch_doc:from_json_obj(Json), your Json is valid
here, except a typo in members roles definition.
