The "PerDocumentAuthorization" page has been changed by BramNeijt.
The comment on this change is: Initial release.
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/PerDocumentAuthorization

--------------------------------------------------

New page:
||<#8080FF> This page forms a summary of the problem and possible solutions, it does not reflect current CouchDB features. ||

== The problem ==
  For a given user, allow only specific access to a given document in the database.
The user is authenticated using any kind of authentication method (HTTP basic auth, or otherwise) and is considered to be identified by a single identifying string. Under the term "specific access", this document considers three types: being able to verify existance, being able to read the document, and being able to update the document (deleting the document is considered an update of the document).
