Sync function to allow writes from external/shadow bucket only

[Thiago Alencar]

Hi,

How can I setup a sync function to allow writes only from an external (shadow) bucket? 

Thanks and BR,

Thiago

Hm. Probably by taking advantage of the fact that the writes from the other bucket are made with admin/superuser privileges instead of as a user account. 

For example you could call requireUser(“some_nonexistent_user”) which will fail for any user-initiated change but will pass for an admin-initiated change (either a PUT on the admin port or coming from the external bucket.)
