Gets the current secrity object from the specified database. The security object consists of two compulsory elements, admins and readers, which are used to specify the list of users and/or roles that have admin and reader rights to the database respectively. Any additional fields in the security object are optional. The entire security object is made available to validation and other internal functions so that the database can control and limit functionality.

To get the existing security object you would send the following request:

{
   "admins" : {
      "roles" : [],
      "names" : [
         "mc",
         "slp"
      ]
   },
   "readers" : {
      "roles" : [],
      "names" : [
         "tim",
         "brian"
      ]
   }
}
