Access control

By default, all users may access any database in read mode. Updates are also possible, but are not performed directly, but placed in a queue where they will be handled by a server.

One may use standard file permissions to control read and write access to a database (using write access to the queue directory in case of updates.) Alternatively, the :read and :write tags, described on page gif, may be used.
