I'm just want to create a standalone application with CouchDB back-end, but I don't know if I can add a new (ordinary) user without using admin credentials. In the documentation I just got information about creating an admin user and existing user's permissions:

Only administrators may browse list of all documents (GET /_users/_all_docs) Only administrators may listen to changes feed (GET /_users/_changes)

Only administrators may execute design functions like views, shows and others

There is a special design document _auth that cannot be modified

Every document except the design documents represent registered CouchDB users and belong to them

Users may only access (GET /_users/org.couchdb.user:Jan) or modify (PUT /_users/org.couchdb.user:Jan) documents that they own

Here is the relevant part of documentation.

Short answer:

YES, you can

Makes no sense in a registration if you have to use admin credentials to create your account. Anyway, here is an example:
