All Collection Names Must be Globally Unique

[Tom McGuigan]

Hi,
FYI, I just learned by experience that you cannot create a collection (I used "Customize Collections") using a name that exists already - even if either/both collections are in the "private" area of separate users.

The scenario which led to this discovery is that I was using two separate accounts to create the same collection in each accounts "private" area. When I tried to create the second/duplicate collection with the same name I used for the first, I got an error message about the name already being used.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I was wondering where a collection was and your post made me realize that I had created it with a different account when I set up the server and had accidentally sent it to the 'private' bucket.
