PR: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/475
> Require admin privileges for clustered _compact and _view_cleanup
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-3367
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3367
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Frederick Kämpfer
>
> Contrary to what is stated in the security docs
> (http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/intro/security.html) admin privileges are
> not enforced for the db/_compact and db/_view_cleanup clustered endpoints.
> Since normal users should not be able to trigger compaction, either system
> level or db level admin privileges should be enforced by couchdb.
