finding out who has access to a given channel

[Seung Chan Lim]

I remember there being a REST API to finding out which users (and role?) have access to a given channel. I can't find out where in the docs this is stated.

Could someone help?

thank you

I'm not sure, i think there's a /:dbname/_dumpchannel/:channelname GET request on the admin port, but I get back a 404 channel not found when the channel exists.

See screenshot below, the user John has access to the 'public_notes' channel.

_dumpchannel just logs recent/cached changes on that channel. It’s mostly useful for troubleshooting the _changes feed implementation.

Sounds like in your case there weren’t any recent changes on that channel, so it doesn’t exist in the cache.

I don’t believe there’s a command to find out who has access to a channel, but that sounds useful; feel free to file an issue requesting it!

Ok thanks for the clarification. Filed issue https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/issues/667.

Yeah, it'd be great if there's a dbname/_channel/id API much like the _user and _role
