Q: Firestore Security Error: Missing or insufficient permissions - google-cloud-firestore

I'm currently using Firestore for database and ran in to insufficient permission error. What I don't understand is why isPartner() will work when my path is
users/{uid}
but give me permission error when it's
object/{objectID}
Security Rules
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /users/{uid} {
allow read: if isSignedIn();
allow write: if isOwner(uid) || isPartner();
match /object/{objectID} {
allow read, write : if isPartner() || isOwner(uid);
}
function isOwner(userID) {
return request.auth.uid == userID
}
function isPartner() {
return resource.data.partnerUID == request.auth.uid
}
}
}

Permissions Problems with Flutter and FireBase FireStore

Can someone please help me I am a complete noob to FireStore and FireBase and am trying to do something simple and FireBase is saying I do not have permission to do it? I am using Flutter. I have the following rules set up in FireBase rules console. I only have one project and one firestore database.
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow write: if request.auth != null;
allow read: if true;
}
}
}
I have a collection of users setup which has a uid as the collection parameter and running the following code after signing into flutter anonymously which does not throw an error. UserID is set to a valid value.
void createUser(String userID, String userName, String password) async {
final CollectionReference _users =
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("Users");
final data = {"Created": DateTime.now(), "LastLoggedIn": DateTime.now()};
_users.doc(userID).set(data, SetOptions(merge: true));
}
I am getting the following error message
10.3.0 - [FirebaseFirestore][I-FST000001] Write at Users/QUIEvBpJeAgprgEan0S736aKjdk2 failed: Missing or insufficient permissions.
I am using anonymous log ons
even when I use the following rules which is supposed to allow all reading and writing of the data I get the same error:
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if true;
}
}
}
I allowed several minutes to go by between when I set the permissions and before testing. Thanks.
Have you tried the default rule with timestamp :
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if
request.time < timestamp.date(2023, 11, 25);
}
}
}

Unable to set up firebase storage access rule based on metadata

Facing an issue in setting up access rules. So till now we have been storing user data as <user_id>/. And the basic rule as this has been working fine
// Grants a user access to a node matching their user ID
service firebase.storage {
match /b/{bucket}/o {
// Files look like: "<UID>/path/to/file.txt"
match /{userId}/{allPaths=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId;
}
}
}
But now i want a user to be able to store a file under any {userId} as long as he is the owner of the file.
I am doing that by setting the owner metadata attribute when trying to write the file and updating the access rules.
Updated access rules
// Grants a user access to a node matching their user ID
service firebase.storage {
match /b/{bucket}/o {
// Files look like: "<UID>/path/to/file.txt"
match /{userId}/{allPaths=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null
&& (request.auth.uid == userId || resource.metadata.owner == request.auth.uid);
}
}
}
I have verified that the metadata is being set correctly by uploading the file to the user’s own path. But when i try to write under some other user’s path, i am getting access denied
See the screenshot of the metadata info of the file i am trying to upload
Finally found the issue.
I didn't read the documentation carefully. When writing a file, in order to check the metadata of the incoming file, we have to use request.resource. So the write rule had to be request.resouce.metadata.owner
Updated rule that works
// Grants a user access to a node matching their user ID
service firebase.storage {
match /b/{bucket}/o {
// Files look like: "<UID>/path/to/file.txt"
match /{userId}/{allPaths=**} {
allow read: if request.auth != null
&& (request.auth.uid == userId || resource.metadata.owner == request.auth.uid);
allow write: if request.auth != null
&& (request.auth.uid == userId || request.resource.metadata.owner == request.auth.uid);
}
}
}

How To Add Firebase Rules To Specific User To read And Write And all other User only read?

I Have Created firebase and flutter app and google is sending me emails saying firebase rules are not good. How do I make those rules better? I want to give permission to login users to read and my account to read and write permission.
I hope that will help you.
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// Make sure the uid of the requesting user matches name of the user
// document. The wildcard expression {userId} makes the userId variable
// available in rules.
match /users/{userId} {
allow read, update, delete: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId;
allow create: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
This is a correct way you can secure database.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// Line below secure whole database so users are not alowed to create any new collections etc.
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if false;
}
match /app/{dataId} {
allow read: if true;
allow write: if isAdmin();
}
match /posts/{dataId} {
allow read: if resource.data.isPublic == true || isAdmin();
allow write: if isAdmin();
}
}
}
function isAdmin() {
return request.auth.token.admin == true;
}
Users don't have any .admin variables. You have to assign them using firebase functions. Read about custom claims.

firestore rules, permission errors

Im trying to figure out how the rules in Firestore work, and have stumbled upon a problem I cant quite figure why is failing.
When using the Firestore Rules Playground and do a get request for a document in /apps, I get the following error: "Error running simulation — Error: simulator.rules line [10], column [14]. Null value error."
And from the app im getting: FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions
The location in trying to get: "/apps/0aKQw0MiRzEbrLDvsnI3"
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if isUserAuthenticated();
}
/* Functions */
function isUserAuthenticated() {
return request.auth.uid != null;
}
}
}
The thing im trying achieve is to allow read access for all document, and only write access if a user is signed in
I have no idea why it's failing on a get request?
If I'm not mistaken the way you added the read condition seems to be incorrect. Perhaps try this and see if it works for you.
match /databases/{database}/documents { match /{document=**} { allow read: if true, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid!=null }

Firestore read simulation fails, no highlighted line

So, I typically don't have problems writing firestore rules but I'm coming up short on why this simulation fails.
If you don't want to follow the image link:
Rules:
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database} {
match /server_credentials/{document = **} {
allow read, write: if false;
}
match /users/{user_uid} {
allow read, write;
match /signatures/{sig_id} {
allow read: if request.auth.uid != null && resource.data.access == "public";
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid == user_uid;
}
match /identity/{credential} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid == user_uid;
}
}
match /signatures/{sig_id} {
allow read, list;
allow write: if false;
}
}
}
Auth details:
Google as provider and foo as the uid.
I'm testing a simple read to users/foo
Any help would be quite nice.
This line is incorrect:
match /databases/{database} {
It should be this:
match /databases/{database}/documents {
This mistake is causing none of your rules to apply at all, and all access is being rejected by default.
