I have a problem with creating new documents (uploading post with video, image and text in my case), for every user such error occurs: The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action
Object for currently logged user:
{"$collectionId": "collectionId", "$createdAt": "2024-09-30T15:02:13.903+00:00", "$databaseId": "databaseId", "$id": "id", "$permissions": ["read(\"user:accountId\")", "update(\"user:accountId\")", "delete(\"user:accountId\")"], "$updatedAt": "2024-09-30T15:02:13.903+00:00", "accountId": "accountId", "avatar": "avatar_url", "email": "email", "username": "username"}
So as you can see, only read/update/delete permissions are present here. I was not able to add write permission for any user, even though I have it checked in appwrite console for users' collection.
This is my react code for creating new users:
const newUser = await databases.createDocument(
databaseId,
usersCollectionId,
ID.unique(),
{
accountId: newAccount.$id,
email,
username,
avatar: avatarUrl,
},
[
Permission.read(Role.user(newAccount.$id)),
Permission.update(Role.user(newAccount.$id)),
Permission.delete(Role.user(newAccount.$id)),
Permission.write(Role.user(newAccount.$id)),
]
)
Previously, I have not added permissions as a paramter in createDocument. The result was the same - it creates new user without write permission. I'm also adding screenshot from appwrite console to show my permissions' settings for users' collection.
Summary
Developers are encountering an issue with write permissions for all users when creating new documents. Despite setting write permissions in the code and in the Appwrite console, the error message "The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action" persists. The issue lies in the way permissions are being set for users in the code. The solution involves ensuring that the correct permissions are defined for each user in the `createDocument` method.
