[SOLVED] User permissions on document creation.

How would I properly set permissions on a new document to a specific user? This seems to not work as intended.

async function createArticle(data) {
        return await databases.createDocument('default', 'rss_articles', sdk.ID.unique(), {
            title: data.title,
            content: data.content,
            url: data.url,
            $permissions: [
                `read("user:${data.userId})`,
                `update("user:${data.userId})`,
                `delete("user:${data.userId}")`
            ]
        });
    }

Hey did u check out the example in this? https://appwrite.io/docs/permissions#:~:text=An%20Appwrite%20resource%20can%20be,and%20members%20with%20different%20roles.

@Dakshie thanks, i have missed that out

idk, doesn't work. js async function createArticle(data) { return await databases.createDocument( 'default', 'rss_articles', sdk.ID.unique(), { title: data.title, content: data.content, url: data.url, }, [ sdk.Permission.read(sdk.Role.user(data.userId)) ]) }

Did you try adding permissions from the console?

i had some progress getting user:null

will have to take a look on the input if the data is corect, but atleast the permissions are set to null right now

is there a way to read a permission from document ?

i want to get the owner of a document from one collection, and create a post/document that belongs to that owner in another collection

You want to delegate the read permission to a user right? You can use - Permission.read()

no i want to know the owner of the document

then according to the owner of the document, create a post, as there might be several owners on different documents

I am using Permission.read(Role.user(data.userId)) to setup the userid, but the way i'm passing it, i have to create another field on creation, i don't want to do that, i want to understand on how to get the ID of the owner from the document itself, not create it manually each time

it will save a lot of pain in the future

i think i found the problem on permission setting, but the question about how to get who owns the document is still relevant

I'm trying to understand what's going on. I finally got the ID of the owner of the document, and it seems that it is working, but now realtime returns everything even though i got set document security permissions on.

when loggin in with user1, i see only posts to user1, when loggin in user2 i see only posts to user two, but when the realtime db hits up, i see all posts on both ends

doesn't realtime apply the security of documents?

strange now it works, i guess must have been in the same session at the first time
