greenais opened a new issue #1556: _users:  status 403 "You are not allowed to access this db."
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1556
 
 
   I'm not sure if it's expected behaviour but I didn't find any traces of such requiremet in docs/issues. 
   
   _users db created, several users in it with roles "stranger" and "registered",
   require_valid_user = true in config.
   In Fauxton in _users I can see default _admin in Member Roles.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   Once I fire GET {{server}}:{{port}}/_users/org.couchdb.user:john (with john's credentials, off cause) 
   I've got 
   error: 'forbidden',
   reason: 'You are not allowed to access this db.',
   status: 403,
   
   When I add john's "registered" role to Member Roles in _users db - everything works as expected, I can get doc.
   
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   Shouldn't user get security doc he owned (according to docs) without specifying in _users Member Roles his role?
