Put a doc via a WRITE-ONLY user on a Cloudant db?

[Sinan Gabel]

Hi!

Using PouchDB in browser, is there a way to Put a doc via a WRITE-ONLY user on a Cloudant db?

Br,

What do you mean by a write-only user? My understanding is that any user that can write can also read.

Hi

On Cloudant - for a given username:password - you can set security on four elements individually: READ and/or WRITE and/or REPLICATE and/or ADMIN. 

So I mean a database where the given username:password can only WRITE to.

With CURL, for example, a standard PUT or POST does it.

Br,

Sinan

Hm. if you can PUT or POST to a remote database, then a db.put() should work fine.

var testdb = new PouchDB("https://username.password@user_at_cloudant.cloudant.com/testdb");

testdb.put({"a": 100})

returns

{status: 403, name: "forbidden", message: "Forbidden by design doc validate_doc_update function", error: true, reason: "_reader access is required for this request"}

Ah okay, looks like you have a  design doc with a validate_doc_update that is not allowing your PUTs? As an admin, you should be able to change that design doc to have whatever validation logic you want.
