Hi Darshan,

Fauxton, the management GUI is just a web app that uses the CouchDB API that 
your application uses as well.

The way to secure CouchDB is to secure who has access to the API. Whether or 
not the management GUI is present makes no difference.

For example, if you have an CouchDB API endpoint with hypothetically Fauxton 
removed, I can just run Fauxton on my machine and point it at your API endpoint.

So securing that API endpoint is the one and only correct way of securing 
access to CouchDB.

Best
