from add-on review: I finally resolved connections issues, =what was: every user should have admin rights for database. If user was just a member of DB or marked as admin AND member, connection would not work. noname

where did you find that user administration panel? My CouchDB Fauxton does not show that?

this is what the documentation says. Maybe your member did not have the right role?

members: they can read all types of documents from the DB, and they can write (and edit) documents to the DB except for design documents.

admins: they have all the privileges of members plus the privileges: write (and edit) design documents, add/remove database admins and members and set the database revisions limit. They can not create a database nor delete a database.

I read that, but, maybe did not managed to set-up properly...

f.ex, user in db _users (i copied without psw section): { "_id": "org.couchdb.user:tbsync", "_rev": "4-bd63cc59f9225dae528c0aa33d51b2cc", "db": "tbsync", "name": "tbsync", "roles": [ "users" ], "type": "user",

When i placed that "users" group into member section of permission page (previous image), the authentication failed. I just gave up to find solution to make it work as "Member" and kust put that group as "Admin"
