Can I use sync gateway 2.6 with couchbase server community edition?

Mobile Sync Gateway
1

In the sync gateway 2.6 documentation it says you need to add a user to couchbase server and specify roles for it:https://docs.couchbase.com/sync-gateway/2.6/getting-started.html

But the couchbase editions documentation says RBAC is only in the enterprise edition of couchbase: https://www.couchbase.com/products/editions

Does this mean sync gateway version 2.6 can only be used with couchbase enterprise edition?

Couchbase Server Community Edition has some basic RBAC roles available.

There are three fixed roles in the community edition of Couchbase providing coarser access control: Bucket Full Access ( bucket_full_access[*] ), Admin ( admin ), and Read Only Admin ( ro_admin ).

You should be able to use the “Bucket Full Access” and “Read Only Admin” roles for Sync Gateway in this scenario.
