   I started to change the intro/security document to implement these changes. I'm going to mention that the default settings prevent users from accessing any documents in the `_users` database, and that the setting can be changed but it is not recommended.
   
   How do people feel about section [1.5.2.4. Users Public Information](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/intro/security.html#users-public-information)? Accessing the public fields mentioned in this section would require a settings change that isn't recommended, and I don't think the Introduction part of the docs is the place to highlight something like that. Easiest solution is to remove that entire subsection.
