missing scope (account)
Registering a user works just fine in my application... Except adding user data to the collection simply does not work. I'm hit with the error :
TypeScript
Registration error: AppwriteException: app....
@service.cloud.appwrite.io (role: applications) missing scope (account)
my code:
TypeScript
import { getLoggedInUser, createUserClient } from "@/lib/server/appwrite";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";
import { ID } from "appwrite";
import RegisterForm from "@/app/register/registerform";
import { cookies } from "next/headers";
export default async function RegisterPage() {
const user = await getLoggedInUser();
if (user) redirect("/dashboard");
async function handleRegister(formData) {
"use server";
const { account } = await createUserClient();
const {
email,
password,
organization,
missionStatement,
organizationWebsite,
} = formData;
try {
await account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, organization);
const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
cookies().set("my-custom-session", session.secret, {
path: "/",
httpOnly: true,
sameSite: "Strict",
secure: true,
});
const data = {
organization,
missionStatement,
organizationWebsite,
};
try {
const request = await fetch("/app/api/register", {
method: "POST",
body: data,
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
// redirect("/dashboard");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Registration error:", error);
}
}
return <RegisterForm onRegister={handleRegister} />;
}
TL;DR
Developers are receiving a "missing scope (account)" error when trying to add user data to a collection. The issue seems to be with using an API key incorrectly. The solution is to make sure the API key is set correctly in the createUserClient function. api route
TypeScript
import {
Client,
Databases,
Account,
ID,
Permission,
Role,
} from "node-appwrite";
import { cookies } from "next/headers";
export async function POST(request) {
try {
const cookie = cookies().get("my-custom-session");
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint("https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1")
.setProject("...")
.setSession(cookie.value);
const account = new Account(client);
const databases = new Databases(client);
try {
const user = await account.get();
const userID = user.$id;
const data = await request.json();
const result = await databases.createDocument(
"...", // databaseId
"...", // collectionId
ID.unique(), // documentId
data,
[
Permission.read(Role.user(userID)),
Permission.write(Role.user(userID)),
],
);
console.log("Document created:", result);
return result;
} catch (err) {
console.log("Error in document creation:", err);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error creating document:", error);
throw error;
}
}
missing scope (account)
you're using an API key somehwere where you shouldn't
i'm using an api key here on the server sdk. What should i use instead?
TypeScript
export async function createUserClient() {
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT)
.setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT)
.setKey(process.env.NEXT_APPWRITE_KEY);
return {
client,
account: new Account(client),
};
}
