Accessing db collection with document permission from server side
Hi, struggling with accessing db collection with document permission from server side. An example:
- I have collection with document permission enabled named
user_file_queue, where authenticated users save URL of file to download. - I have a NodeJS server function, that should go over
user_file_queuerecords and download those files (started by CRON). - Also, there is another table, called
user_downloaded_files, where file_id is saved after file is download to bucket.
How can I get all records from user_file_queue as server side function? As it stated in docs:
When using a Server SDK in combination with the proper API key scopes, you can have any type of access to any of your project resources regardless of their permissions.
I assume that server function should have access to all documents in the table, but seems like that is not the case as db.listDocuments() returns 0 rows. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
TL;DR
Developers are struggling with accessing a database collection with document permissions from the server side in NodeJS. They have a collection named `user_file_queue` where authenticated users save file download URLs. They also have a server function that should download files from this collection. The goal is to access `user_file_queue` records from the server-side function. The developers are facing issues with `db.listDocuments()` returning 0 rows even though they have the necessary API key scopes. Unfortunately, it seems that server-side functions do not have access to all documents in the table as assumed.
