Confused with SystemDatabaseCredential about arangoclient.net

[ra0o0f]

@imtrobin operations like CreateDatabase needs system privilege. these operation use SystemDatabaseCredential and other use DatabaseCredential. i separate credentials so end-users can set limited-access-user (not root) for regular operations.

Yes, I assume so. Is there a list we can check? Cos it seems insert a document also needs SystemDatabaseCredential, which I found it odd.

@imtrobin note that when SystemDatabaseCredential is used in an operation(like creating database), all request will be use _system, so inserting document should not use SystemDatabaseCredential, if it is, its a bug

[imtrobin]

I did some more testing. I confirm

1. Creating database needs SystemCredential
2. Creating collection do not need SystemCredential, just Credential
3. Creating doc do not need SystemCredential, just Credential, with user that has permission Administrate.

Is that correct?

@imtrobin absolutely. for more clarification:

1. Creating database needs SystemCredential because it is perform on _system database. only _system can create database.

Creating collection do not need SystemCredential, just Credential because it is perform on the database which is set on DatabaseSetting.Database which credentials are set on DatabaseSetting.Credential
