const User = db.createModel('User', {
  id: String,
  name: String,
  birthday: Date,
  times: {
    created: Date
  }
})
 
// Anyone can list and read users and their public fields (id and name)
// Users can update themselves, but only their own birthday
// Admins can create, update, replace, or delete any user
palisade(User, {
  document: {
    read: ['public'],
