Next js SSR convert anonymous to real account
Hello, I am making a anonymous session in next js server side by doing :
TypeScript
export async function createAnon() {
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT as string)
.setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT as string);
const account = new Account(client);
const result = await account.createAnonymousSession();
return result;
}
then I try to convert the anonymous account to a normal one by doing update mail :
TypeScript
export async function createAccountFromAnon(email: string, password: string) {
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT as string)
.setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT as string)
.setSession('current');
const account = new Account(client);
const result = await account.updateEmail(
email,
password
);
return result;
}
and I get the following error :
Error: User (role: guests) missing scope (account) lib/server/appwrite.ts (42:20) @ async createAccountFromAnon
40 | const account = new Account(client); 41 |
42 | const result = await account.updateEmail( | ^ 43 | email, 44 | password 45 | );
I am probably missing something here
TL;DR
Developers are creating an anonymous session in Next.js using Appwrite, then attempting to convert it to a real account by updating the email, but encountering an error related to missing a user scope. The error suggests that the role is set to "guests" instead of "account." To fix this, ensure that the user's role has the necessary scope for updating an email.
