[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2585) Make admin check extensible in global_change

["Alexander Shorin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2585?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14995868#comment-14995868 ] 

Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-2585:
-------------------------------------------

[~janl] owner is a cloudant semi-feature that helps to denote group of databases per user. So, if you'll have db named: "jan/mailbox" then owner will be jan - the first part before slash. In the same way you may have own _users and _replicator databases: jan/_users, jan/_replicator. 

However, we don't apply any security enhancements for such layout. So far iirc only global_changes operates with owner thing.
