Hello folks! In my flutter app, I want to allow users to only be able to read/update/delete the documents that they themselves created.
I've already created an email session and stored the userId in my localstorage using shared preferences. I'm trying to assign permissions while the user is creating documemts by doing this:
taskList.forEach((task) {
AppwriteService.database.createDocument(
databaseId: Strings.databaseId,
collectionId: Strings.collectionId,
documentId: ID.unique(),
data: task.toJson(),
permissions: [
Permission.read(Role.user(Constants.userId)),
Permission.delete(Role.user(Constants.userId)),
Permission.update(Role.user(Constants.userId)),
],
).then((value) {
if (value.data.isNotEmpty) {
print('Success');
}
});
});
But I'm getting an error saying "AppwriteException (AppwriteException: user_unauthorized, The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action. (401))".
What exactly am I doing wrong? Also, should I be doing it this way (the taskList I am iterating through is a list of all tasks I want to store for that specific user).
I'm using Appwrite cloud, not local
Summary
User is trying to set permissions on documents they are creating in their Flutter app using Appwrite cloud. They want to allow users to only read/update/delete the documents they created. They are getting an error saying "AppwriteException: user_unauthorized, The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action. (401)". They are asking for assistance on what they are doing wrong and if their approach is correct.
Solution: The user needs to ensure that they have the appropriate permissions set on the collection. By default, no users have access to create documents, so they need to set the permissions on the collection to allow the intended actions
