UPDATE 3: Since v0.5.0, Meteor supports authentication
and allow/deny rules on collections.
See http://docs.meteor.com/#allow for info.
Thanks, @Dan Dascalescu !
Update 2: As Greg points out, you actually can lock down the CRUD
methods by overriding them with empty functions (more info here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10116342/1180471). So while I assume the
auth functionality will make things simpler, you can already roll your
own with relatively low effort.
Original answer kept for historic purposes:
AFAIK meteor doesn’t provide a way to do this yet since there is no way to lock down (part of) the database, so for the moment the only way to do it in a secure way is to bypass meteor and either:
– drop down to node and use a seperate database or authentication API
– use HTTP authentication
I imagine this is pretty high up on their todo list, though…
Update 1:
They already started implementing, you can see the code in the livedata-auth branch:
