[SOLVED] Add user permission in the document created using functions

Im really sorry but its actually under NDA so wont be possible

TL;DR

The user had a support query regarding adding user permission in a document created using functions. They were able to solve it by providing the `write` permission. However, they encountered an issue with duplicated permissions in the database. They were advised not to include the `create` permission and received an error message stating that the permission "create" is not allowed. The user made some code changes and received a new error related to encoding. They were advised to change the variable name to `req` instead of `res` and asked to share the stacktrace of the error. The user made the changes and requested if it was enough. They then

lemme try sharing code by removing some part and so

TypeScript

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';


Future<void> start(final req, final res) async {
  try {
    final client = Client()
        .setEndpoint('...')
        .setProject(Constants.projectId)
        .setKey('...')
        .setSelfSigned(status: true);

    final database = Databases(client);

    final payload = req.payload;
    final userId = res.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID'];

    final ... = await database.createDocument(
      databaseId: '...',
      collectionId: '...',
      documentId: '...',
      permissions: [
        Permission.read(Role.user(userId)),
        Permission.update(Role.user(userId)),
        Permission.delete(Role.user(userId)),
        Permission.create(Role.user(userId)),
      ],
      data: {...}
    );

  } catch (e) {
    res.json({'error': e});
  }
}

Would this be enough?

Can you add st to the catch and share it?

TypeScript

  } catch (e,st) {
    res.json({'error': e,'st':st});
  }

Oh Wait a sec

Can you change it to req instead of res?

TypeScript

-res.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID'];
+req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID'];

lemme try that

Nope

but now it is giving this error

Converting object to an encodable object failed: Instance of 'AppwriteException'

With what stacktrace?

And upon looking at logs of appwrite

Message: Invalid permissions: Permission "create("user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32")" is not allowed. Must be one of: read, update, delete, write.

this is the exact error

Yes, you shouldn't put create one You can see in the example

Here

Well, that did worked, but now the permissions in db are duplicated somehow

"read(user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32)", "update(user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32)", "delete(user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32)", "update(user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32)", "delete(user:64ac3b8cf403a8b2ab32)"

this is the response

Yes, I think you can just give the write permission

TypeScript

      permissions: [
        Permission.write(Role.user(userId)),
      ],

Or write + read

TypeScript

      permissions: [
        Permission.read(Role.user(userId)),
        Permission.write(Role.user(userId)),
      ],

Try it

Lemme try it

Thanks a lot, was able to solve it
