pouchdb-permissions

This plugin enables you to easily manipulate the _security document of a database in PouchDB/CouchDB, on the fly and with a super flexible API.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the instances which will use this plugin have the permissions required to manipulate the _security document. Learn more.

Every operation made by the plugin ensures that names and roles are deduplicated for the admins and the members keys in the _security document.
