wohali opened a new issue #929: db security form does not populate with existing object,
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/issues/929
 
 
   ## Expected Behavior
   When browsing to `http://<url>/_utils/#/database/dbname/permissions` , the page should reflect the content of the current database `_security` object. It should then allow incremental editing of the object through adding/deleting admin and member users and roles.
   
   ## Current Behaviour
   When browsing to `http://<url>/_utils/#/database/dbname/permissions` , the page currently shows no data, as if there was no `_security` object in the database.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   1. `curl -X PUT http://<url>/dbname`
   2. Create a user such as `wohali` in `_users` and make it an admin (e.g. by adding it to `[admins]` in local.ini
   3. `curl -X PUT http://wohali:password@<url>/dbname/_security -d '{"admins": {"names": [ "wohali" ], "roles": ["foo", "bar"]}, "members": { "names": ["ralph","frank"], "roles":["developers"]}}'` to create the correct db permissions.
   4. `curl -X GET http://wohali:password@<url>/dbname/_security` and validate the output
   4. Visit `https://<url>/_utils/#/database/dbname/permissions`. None of the populated data in the `_security` object is shown. 
   
   **Note**: in my browser network console the `GET /_security` on that page returns a 401 error. Inspecting the headers for the request does not show the request being made with the correct security context.
   
   ## Your Environment
   * Version used: CouchDB, master build
   * Browser Name and version: Firefox 53.0.3
   * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Windows 7 x64, desktop
