Getting 401 User Unauthorized when doing a getDocument

I have a Database and collection, that my web app is trying to query, and I am getting 401 unauth It was working before i upgraded to 1.4.0.

I verified the permissions on the collection, even added "Any" and "All Guest" and "All Users" (Even though my user is in a Team with full perms to the collection)

Logged out and back into the app, same thing. another collection is working fine, no idea why this isnt working.

TL;DR

The user is experiencing a 401 User Unauthorized error when trying to do a getDocument. Some suggestions for troubleshooting the issue are raised, including raising a bug report on GitHub, upgrading to version 1.4.1, and checking permissions on related collections. The user eventually discovers that the issue was due to not having set permissions on the related collection. The problem is resolved by setting the appropriate permissions.

Any relationships in this collection?

yes, oooh, check perms on the related collections?

that was it. didn't even think to check relationships

So the user didn't have access to the related document?

yeah, i had created a new collection (related) and hadnt set permissions on that yet

@Prateek Banga do you have some time to help with this? Should a user get a 401 if they don't have read access to a related document?

Hmm, will have to see. I'll check this out tomorrow. The user should get document without the related document i think without read permission in related collection.

@Zeke(Jafesu) can you try out upgrading to 1.4.1 and then try out your use case without having permission in related document. Technically, you should see the document without any related data if you don't have any permission for related collection.

I tried reproducing this in 1.4.1 and it's not a problem for me

Yep. I'm on 1.4.1 I'll text this afternoon

You can share the appwrite.json via appwrite-cli to help reproduce the bug. Use the Appwrite CLI: https://appwrite.io/docs/command-line-deployment#initializeProject

Looks like the issue was resolved

Not getting the error anymore

great then, I'll mark this thread as SOLVED
