Yes, sorry it was not clear, but it's exactly like you're saying. So my proposal is: Add *validate_doc_view* function in _design documents with arguments like *doc, userCtx, req*. Add *validate_view_access* function into _design/views/view_name with arguments like *req, userCtx*.
Example: http://indutny.couchone.com/_utils/document.html?access_proposal/_design/test (admin party is here, so feel free to try anything). So you can throw {forbidden: "some text"} in any of this callbacks, if user have no access to item. Also for views, you can limit access to specific range for user (like in example). 2010/11/9 Bram Neijt <bne...@gmail.com> > I think I'm missing a part of this. > > If you want a user to see only part of the document, would you not > create a view that only emits parts of the document? > > I'm new at this, so could you write up an usage example for me? > > Greets, > > Bram > > On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 5:34 PM, Fedor Indutny <fedor.indu...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi everyone! > > > > You've discussed earlier possibility of adding access validators to > _design > > documents, this feature it's a kind of thing that many couchdb users will > be > > glad to see. > > The conclusion of previous discussion was that we can't add this > validators, > > because we actually won't be able to tell later, whether user can access > > _design/view or not. > > > > What if we could add *validate_view_**access *to _design document? > > It's not only fix of problem, I've mentioned above, but also a feature: > > You'll be able to allow user to access only view, without having an > access > > to a full document. > > So, for example, views could show only *title* field of document, while * > > price* field will be hidden in a document itself. > > > > What do you think? > > > > -- > > (Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP developer) > > Fedor Indutny > > > -- Fedor Indutny
