Uncaught (in promise) FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions.

[ThigoPSI]

Hi, can anyone help me fix this error, I'm having a lot of trouble with firebase

[Fleker]

When you look at your Firestore rules, they should match:

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read;
      allow write: if false;
    }
  }
}

If you do not allow read, you may see this issue in the client.

[ThigoPSI]

this I have the same, I have been more than 1 week and I can not connect to firebase

[Fleker]

That seems to be a separate issue, unrelated to Firebase permissions, and may be related to an error on the server-side implementation that is causing the server to fail early so that it is not adding the CORS header to the response.

[ThigoPSI]

and you think you can help me solve this ??

[Fleker]

Are you noticing any errors in the server?

[ThigoPSI]

which I do not see, it runs all right, but when I try to add a device of those mistakes I showed up, but be as it is there prints for you to see

[Fleker]

What is 'smart-home-nodejs/frontend/functions'? This project is designed to use App Engine, not cloud functions.

[Fleker]

Looking at the left-hand of the screen, the issue may be not including the smart-home-key.json while also running the service through ngrok (#366).

Same error here! =/

[ghost]

1+ #370 where is the solution?

[Fleker]

It seems like there is an issue in your server-side App Engine implementation that is causing the implementation to crash.

[ghost]

and this problem is on our side? or is it something that is wrong in the example?

[Fleker]

Without seeing what logs are being sent in your server, it is hard to identify why it is crashing.

[ghost]

Where can I go to get this log?

[Fleker]

If it's hosted on App Engine, you can go to http://console.cloud.google.com/logs/viewer

[ThigoPSI]

I use Firebase and the sample servers. How can I solve the problem? and where can I get the log?

[Fleker]

If you go to the link above you should be able to view server logs.

[ThigoPSI]

is there, do you think you can help me?

log.zip

[Fleker]

None of the included logs contain an error

[ThigoPSI]

So why on my smart home node server js (NGROk) do not seem like devices that I create on the smart frontend server at home?

[Fleker]

You're using ngrok for the server?

[ThigoPSI]

yes it is my local server.

and I want to simulate (add) devices on it

[Fleker]

Okay. In that case, the problem is happening because the API calls are being made to a URL that does not exist. You'll need to follow a few steps as described in #366 to update your database connections, and update the API endpoint to your ngrok URL.

[ThigoPSI]

is always giving error

[Fleker]

It seems the error is related to the command tsc && copy src/*.json dist/, which does not seem to be running as expected in your environment.

This my error

[radianceltd]

Can you help me out

[spieker]

I don't know if this is the issue here, but when creating a new database in firebase, the default permissions are set to "allow everything for 1 week after creation". This looks something like this:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2020, 7, 1);
    }
  }
}

You can extend the permitted time by modifying timestamp.date(2020, 7, 1), or create propper permission rules.

I had the same error, And after reading everything in the comments section, all i did was change it from

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2020, 7, 1);
    }
  }
}

to this

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write;
    }
  }
}

so basically allow read and write indefinitely, and my database showed up

[Noly17]

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {

match /{document=**} {

//this code underneath is the thing. go change the date, i change mine 2020 to 2021
allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2021, 8, 29);
}
}
}

[astroana]

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write;
}
}
}

This is only applicable for development and not advisable for production. I have the same issue when changing rules with auth even though I detached the listener upon logout.

edit: I got mine working turns out the error was because of the useEffect in my context provider. This rule below works for me

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /users/{uid} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid == uid
}
}
}

@Taaseen71 Hi! :) Where should it be added please? So, which file please?

[Oshanwick]

@alirehman726 its works thanks man

[kadebedis]

If this should be opened in a different issue, please let me know. I get the same error that people above are getting, but my application is able to read & write the data to the database. I just want to get the error to go away.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

[yoonghan]

@Rian1010 login to https://console.firebase.google.com/, access Cloud Firestore.
From the tabs appeared - Data/Rules/Indexes/Usage. Select "Rules", and change to "allow read, write;". Save it.
Though i believe this will be a security issue in production, but for now it solves my problem.

Thanks @alirehman726 it worked.

[femzykel]

I had the same error, But all i did was changing the rule that works with the date and it worked perfectly. The current request.time was "<" the timestamp.date which invalidates the rule once the date/time elapse the date of the default rule.

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2020, 9, 10);
}
}
}
Updated to this

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.time > timestamp.date(2020, 9, 10);
}
}
}
so basically i reversed the lesser-than sign to greater-than sign giving access to my database to function as it should,
or you can just manually keep changing the date to extend permission without switching the the lesser-than sign to greater-than sign.

Hi,
I got a same issue . The problem was about firebase test project time to expired .
Because the test project has a 30 days access permission.
I was create a new project on firebase and I took the configuration(firebaseConfig) and replaced it with the old firebaseConfig in my project code.

[crevulus]

Hi all, I've changed my rules to be more liberal but I still have the same error when I try to get() a collection. My rules are as follows:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /users/{userId} {
      allow read;
      allow write: if request.auth.uid == userId;
      allow update: if request.auth.uid == userId;
    }
  }
}

Previously, read followed the same structure as the rules for write and update. But I still get Uncaught (in promise) FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions. even though I'm allowing all reads.

[imadelcass]

I don't know if this is the issue here, but when creating a new database in firebase, the default permissions are set to "allow everything for 1 week after creation". This looks something like this:

    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2020, 7, 1);
    }
  }
}

You can extend the permitted time by modifying timestamp.date(2020, 7, 1), or create propper permission rules.

Thanks a lot

[crevulus]

@imadelcass be careful using those rules. They're very insecure and it's not recommended.

[Thokya]

When you look at your Firestore rules, they should match:

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read;
      allow write: if false;
    }
  }
}

this worked for me thanks for the suggestion

[vishnusiju]

In firebase -> Cloud Firestore ->Rules,

---

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}

---

Change To,

---

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write;
}
}
}

[Adyaapatil09]

rules_version = '2'; service cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { match /{document=**} { allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2022, 12, 1); } } }
you might use these rules to just remember to change the dates when they expire!
