How to get the user accesses assigned to Databases

[kiranshashiny]

I'm referring to this document,

https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/Cloudant/api?topic=cloudant-databases

I am running curl and doing a GET to view the database "mydb" that was created using the Cloudant Dashboard on the IBM portal.

I'm getting an error.

{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"_reader access is required for this request"}

How do I resolve it ?

The curl get is (removed the part of identifier in my https:// request below for security reasons. )

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://xx-bluemix.cloudantnosqldb.appdomain.cloud/mydb

II.

I'm trying to PUT to create a new DB as listed in your Document page.

{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"one of _admin, server_admin is required for this request"}

The script is as shown.

$ cat curlput.sh 
curl -X PUT "https://...2f-bluemix.cloudantnosqldb.appdomain.cloud/anotherdb?partitioned=true"

Would appreciate if you would put up some trouble shooting tips too.
