Backbone and Cloudant

Very cool, considering I've used Cloudant extensively with a Node server and backbone in the past. It's nice to see something that can talk directly with the DB. Though, could someone explain how I would implement permissions and security using this direct-to-Cloudant approach?

This is going to sound like GUSHING, uncritical praise, but I've just started testing out cloudant (past few weeks) after previous setting up my own CouchDB instance on AWS.<p>I have to say that not only is the service itself great, its fantastic to be able to deal with REAL people when you need to know a little info...<p>Rather than just posting on a forum and waiting they always have people on their IRC channel and I've found them to be really helpful over email also.
