I have been struggling with this for a few hours, I googled around, and
looked in the testcases, but I can't seem to get it to work:
What is the correct way of adding a user through http, and what is the
correct way of granting that user an admin role?
The first surprise is that it seems to be:
curl -X POST -d "username=thisfred2&password=password"
http://localhost:5984/_user
rather than a JSON body. At least, this was suggested to me, and works,
or at least returns {"ok": "true"} (note the JSON) when the user doesn't
already exists.
How do I now create an admin user, or make an existing user an admin?
I think I'm just missing a few pieces of the puzzle, but perhaps since
it's a very small puzzle with not very many pieces to begin with, this
has me completely stumped.
