readers vs. document create

[bmidgley <bm...@gmail.com>]

Hi

A pure couch app can't currently hide the _users database and at the same
time allow creates in this db. I had hoped I could put only _admin group in
the readers list and then use a document create, possibly through an update
handler for creating users.

The docs make it sound like this should be possible, but I get access
denied. Is a fix in the works? It's not practical to open up the whole users
db in a pure couch app.

We are looking to address this for the 1.2.x release.
