Abstract : Recently non-relational databases known as NoSQL become most popular for handling a massive amount of data. Many organizations move from relational databases towards NoSQL databases due to the growing popularity of cloud computing and big data. NoSQL database is designed to handle unstructured data like documents, Email, and social media efficiently. It uses distributed and cooperating devices to store and retrieve data. As a large number of people storing sensitive data in NoSQL databases, security issues become critical concerns. NoSQL has many advantages like scalability and availability, but it suffers from many security issues like lack of fine-grained authorization. Fain-Grained Access Control (FGAC) is a fundamental requirement in many applications. In this research, we choose the CouchDB NoSQL document database and develop an access control mechanism that works at a fain-grained level. The proposed mechanism uses role-based access control of CouchDB and restricts read access to work at the document level. The experiment shows that our mechanism works at the document level in CouchDB with a slight increase in execution time that did not affect database performance.
