[SOLVED] About function execution permissions

From what I can see, is it possible to set the $permissions manually when creating execution using serverside apis?

TL;DR

User has questions about function execution permissions in the appwrite/appwrite model. They ask if meta fields like `$permission` are returned when using `Query.select()`, and if it's possible to set `$permissions` manually when creating execution using serverside APIs. Another user explains that it's not a bug, but actually a feature to protect execution data. They recommend tunneling the information through a function if needed. They also suggest using the `getExecution` function to check if a function has finished executing. There is a question about setting execute access to `users` and not being able to execute the function on the client, but it

It's not possible from what I can see

It looks like you can't

What would be the value of the $permissions if I create the execution from the server?

An empty array?

Yep

Did you already check it out before?

By the way, which panel is shown in this image? Is it something viewable on appwrite cloud? I mean the panel as you've shown it

Yes, I've checked

This PHPStorm uses the DataGrip software to view my self-hosted Appwrite instance.

Any way, thanks for helping

One last thing, what is the purpose of the async option when creating function execution? If it is set to false, does it mean that I can directly await the execution in my code and access the final response directly?

Yes, exactly.

For example

Let's say you have a function that need to get something protect from the DB Then you'll probably want the function to be executed in sync mode.

But if you have a function that can take time Then you'll execute it in async. Then you can use the getExecution to see if it finished.

Yeah, I get that

Thanks once again

I also saw something in the thread you linked about the person setting execute access to users and still not able to execute the function on the client saying that only guests and any are allowed, is that some bug, or did I get it wrong?

It's not a bug more like a feature 😉

What I mean is that it's a bug if you want to be able to get the execution status for guests. But, is actually a feature meant to protect the execution data.

So, in case you'll need to have that information for guests, you can tunnel it thorugh a function.

Okay then, thanks

One quick question, whe using Query.select(), are meta fields like $permission still returned even if they've not been included in the list of fields to be selected?

Yes Check this https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5376#issuecomment-1535486082

Okay, thanks
