Hello! Probably it is something stupid but I can't figure it out. Read a ton of posts already and still need help. Self hosted Appwrite. Simplest login in web app. I am getting "User (role: guests) missing scope (account) after login" when I try to verify the login. Session for the user is being created correctly. Here is my route: ``` router.post("/auth/login", async (req, res) => { // Get the email and password from the request body let email = req.body.email; let password = req.body.password;
try { const client = new Client() .setEndpoint(process.env.AWENDPOINT) .setProject(process.env.AWPROJECTID);
let account = new Account(client);
const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
console.log(session);
const awuser = await account.get(); // Here I am getting "User (role: guests) missing scope (account) after login"
console.log(awuser);
res.status(200).json({ success: true });
} catch (error) { console.error("Login error:", error.message, error.stack); } ... rest of my code.```
console.log(session) is giving me the following:
{
'$id': '66490a9639f94e3ba07e',
'$createdAt': '2024-05-18T20:07:50.243+00:00',

}```

Btw, it's best to use 3 back ticks with multi-line code. See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting

It looks like you're writing server code but you may be using the web sdk which is meant to be used client side. As such, the session is not persisting.

For server side auth, please see https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/server-side-rendering
