Hi Bill,
A "_users" database is an (almost) ordinary Couch database and access to it
controlled the same way as with any other database, by setting a valid
"_security" object.
Try to set your server's admin as "_users" database admin, i.e. update the
security object in _users to {"admins": {"roles": ["_admin"]}, "members":
{"roles": ["_admin"]}}
Regards,
Eric
