You can set user permissions on remote databases.
BEFORE (with IMFData/CloudantToolkit):
// Get reference to data manager
IMFDataManager *manager = [IMFDataManager sharedInstance];
// Set permissions for current user on a store
[manager setCurrentUserPermissions: DB_ACCESS_GROUP_MEMBERS forStoreName: @"automobiledb" completionHander:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
if(error){
// Handle error
}else{
// setting permissions was successful
}
}];
// Get reference to data manager
let manager = IMFDataManager.sharedInstance()
// Set permissions for current user on a store
manager.setCurrentUserPermissions(DB_ACCESS_GROUP_MEMBERS, forStoreName: "automobiledb") { (success:Bool, error:NSError!) -> Void in
if nil != error {
// Handle error
} else {
// setting permissions was successful
}
}

Task<Boolean> permissionsTask = manager.setCurrentUserPermissions(DataManager.DB_ACCESS_GROUP_MEMBERS, "automobiledb");
permissionsTask.continueWith(new Continuation<Boolean, Object>() {
@Override
public Object then(Task<Boolean> task) throws Exception {
if(task.isFaulted()){
// Handle error
}else{
// setting permissions was successful
}
return null;
}
});
AFTER (with Cloudant® Sync): There
is no longer a way to set user permissions from the mobile device.
You must set permissions with the Cloudant dashboard or server-side code.
