[SOLVED] appwrite error User (role: guests) missing scope (account) while creating a user

Hey I am getting this error whenever i tried to create a user.

TL;DR

The user is encountering an error with the Appwrite platform while trying to create a user. They received a suggestion to use the `account.createEmailSession()` function after creating the account, which apparently solved the issue for them. Other users in the thread suggested checking the Users Limit in the Auth > Security settings and ensuring that the correct package (`appwrite` instead of `node-appwrite`) is being used. The user also mentioned that the error occurs when the account is created but the session is not.

appwrite error User (role: guests) missing scope (account) while creating a user. How do i fix it?

What's your code?

await account.create(ID.unique(),email, password);

And this is a frontend JS site?

Yes

And you're definitely using the appwrite package, not the node-appwrite package?

Yep sir

And you don't have a Users Limit enabled in Auth > Secutiry?

this is what happens when i create a user but the account is created but the session is not created

yep its in unlimited

Oh, right. I don't think a Session is created automatically on user creation? You need to call account.createEmailSession()

Oh is it

lemme give it a try

Nope still getting the same error

Ok. What's triggering that error (at LoginCard.jsx line 44)?

Hey account.createEmailSession() actually fixed the issue. I just passed the email and password to there after creating the account and now the error is gone

thanks a lot
