[basex-talk] ADMIN permission needed for basex:read(...)

Fellow basex users,

Test case: (as 'admin' user:) run file1.xq, containing:

let $test := basex:read('/tmp/222.readme') return <test>{$test}</test>

Returns, as expected: <test>readme from basex </test>

But when run as any other user WITHOUT admin privilige (from the log):

RUN /tmp/222 Error: ADMIN permission needed. 7.75 ms

Behaviour is the same if the file is copied to be inside the basex home directory e.g. basex:read('222.readme').

I would like to be able to read files in basex queries as a non-admin user. But perhaps the admin restriction on this behaviour is by design?

Cheers,

Sandra
