User Verification for Operations after Login
I have a weird problem in my app that Appwrite does not see the authenticated user. After awaiting account.createEmailPasswordSession() and account.get() I want to use the returned userID to query a database document that only has row permissions for only this user. But I can only access the document when i give table permissions for all, which I do not want in this case.
I assume this is an issue on the flutter side and my handling, but other operations from my app work in a similar manner.
How does Appwrite verify where the request comes from and how can I use getRow() and listRows() correctly?
Here is a tiny snippet:
TypeScript
final session = await _account.createEmailPasswordSession(
email: email,
password: password,
);
final user = await _account.get();
final databaseId = dotenv.get('APPWRITE_DB_ID'); //debugPrint is correct
final userID = user.$id; //debugPrint is correct
final userRows = await _tablesDB.listRows(
databaseId: databaseId,
tableId: 'user_keys',
); //this shows 0 rows if row permissions and 5 if table permissions
TL;DR
Problem: Appwrite does not recognize the authenticated developer which prevents access to specific database rows without granting all table permissions.
Solution: Ensure that the session and user objects are correctly obtained and used in the query to list rows in Appwrite. Double-check permissions and authentication handling in the Flutter code for accuracy.
