Hey everyone, i'm running into an issue when storing user data in a database collection. Currently, the function does not run or store any data in the collection. The way it works right now is a user first created an account, so I run the "createUser" function, and then in a subsequent webpage they select up to a total of 21 topics, which are added in a database collection associated with their user id. The function I run for this is "createUserTopics". Is there something wrong with the way I am handling my code?

Summary

The user is encountering an issue when storing user data in a database collection. The "createUser" function does not run or store any data in the collection. The user is also unsure if there is something wrong with the code. Another user suggests checking if the right permissions are granted. The user is asked for the error they are getting and where they are encountering it. Solution: It is recommended to check the permissions granted and to provide information about the specific error message and where it occurs.

What's the error you're getting, and where?

You should also check whether the right permissions are granted
