  <h2>Create Server Admin</h2>
  <fieldset>
    <p class="help">
      Before a server admin is configured, all clients have admin privileges.
      This is fine when HTTP access is restricted 
      to trusted users. <strong>If end-users will be accessing this CouchDB, you must
      create an admin account to prevent accidental (or malicious) data loss.</strong>
    </p>
    <p class="help">Server admins can create and destroy databases, install 
      and update _design documents, run the test suite, and edit all aspects of CouchDB 
      configuration.
    </p>
    <table summary=""><tbody><tr>
      <th><label>Username:</label></th>
      <td><input type="text" name="name" size="24"></td>
    </tr><tr>
      <th><label>Password:</label></th>
      <td><input type="password" name="password" size="24"></td>
    </tr>
    </tbody></table>
    <p class="help">Non-admin users have read and write access to all databases, which
      are controlled by validation functions. CouchDB can be configured to block all
      access to anonymous users.

    <h3>About Authentication</h3>     
    <p class="help">
      Couch has a pluggable authentication mechanism. Futon exposes a user friendly cookie-auth which handles login and logout, so app developers can relax. Just use <tt>$.couch.session()</tt> to load the current user's info.
