    <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>Right now, I'm trying to build an app with couchDB/couchapp that would store persistent and crucial information from the user, and am stuck on the steps required for user signup with couchapp. </p> <p>Essentially, what I want to do is to have a simple signup form that users can use to register an account for using my app. This would entail creation of a new user in the couchdb _users database, and the creation of a new database, with the new user assigned the role of database admin. </p> <p>All that requires server admin credentials. </p> <p>Ideally, I'd love to be able to make a call using one of the <code>jquery.couch.js</code> functions, but there doesn't seem to be a secure way to do that. (or is there??)</p> <p><strong>Question</strong></p> <p>What is the most efficient yet secure way to offload this task to a middle-layer software or otherwise?</p> <p>By efficient, I mean needing the least amount of steps for the user, not necessarily the least amount of hassle for me. </p> <p>As of right now, I've set up a separate node.js server that receives signup requests. My couchDB server admin credentials are stored as supposed private variables on the node <code>server.js</code> file. I then POST any db creation request back to couchDB using <a href="https://github.com/creationix/couch-client" rel="noreferrer"><code>couch-client</code></a>.</p> <p>Am I jumping through too many (potential insecure) hoops here? Is there a better way to ensure a secure signup process? </p> <p>Thanks. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
