Change Access Right for Data Bags

Hi,

I want to edit a data bag in my recipe. I am using the code from: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Data+Bags

Editing a Data Bag Item within a Recipe:
sam = data_bag_item(“users”, “sam”)
sam[“Full Name”] = "Samantha"
sam.save

But I get the following error: Net::HTTPServerException: 403 “Forbidden”

I think I have to adjust some access rights in the couchdb, but i have no idea how to do that.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

Hi,

In order to do this, the API client for that node will need admin
privileges, which you can do using knife client edit on the client
and setting the admin flag to true. Note that making the client an
admin also means it has privileges above and beyond simply editing
data bags, thus you will want to ensure that you can keep its key
secure.

Sincerely,

Steven
