GitHub user realistschuckle edited a discussion: How does `users_db_public`
work? (CouchDB 3.5.1)
Using CouchDB v3.5.1, I updated my configuration to include the following
settings.
```ini
[chttpd_auth]
users_db_public = true
```
The way I read the documentation is that, since I don't set `public_fields`, an
authenticated user should be able to access their user record in `_users`:
> If [`public_fields` is] unset or not specified, authenticated users can only
> retrieve their own document.
But, I can't get it to work with either Cookie or JWT authentication. I only
get `401 Forbidden` results.
Is this a bug?
