I am trying to use a nodejs application on localhost, to create documents. Can you tell me how to go about this, for example, how to set the permissions. Thanks.

TL;DR
Developers are encountering an error when trying to create a document in AppWrite: "Invalid `documentId` param." The error arises as the ID shouldn't exceed 36 characters and have specific valid characters. Check the Appwrite documentation for assistance, especially on setting permissions: https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/permissions. In a nodejs app from localhost, grant permissions by creating a user and role, enabling the required permissions (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

Appwrite docs would be a great place for this. For setting permissions, you can follow this doc: https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/permissions

Thanks @Afrin Nahar In AppWrite, I have created a User and created a Permissions Role for the User and enabled Create, Read, Update and Delete However, I get this error:

Error creating document: AppwriteException: Invalid documentId param: Parameter must contain at most 36 chars. Valid chars are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period, hyphen, and underscore. Can't start with a special char This is an example data row: 5/31/24 15:31:35|Stockport|England|Stockport|email@gmail.com|-|False
