🐛 Bug Report: Create document with role

[Faiyyaz]

👟 Reproduction steps

When i try to create the document using the role of user id for users collection i am not able to create the user since it is giving permission error.

final document = await databases.createDocument(
        databaseId: 'XXX',
        collectionId: 'XXX',
        documentId: id,
        data: {
          'email': email,
          'id': id,
          'name': name,
          'createdAt': DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch,
          'updatedAt': DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch,
        },
        permissions: [
          Permission.create(Role.user(id)),
        ],
      );

@Faiyyaz, thanks for creating this issue! 🙏 Would you please provide the permission error you're getting?

[stnguyen90]

Also, you can't add a create permission on a document since it's ready created. Did you mean to add update permission?

[Faiyyaz]

I am planning to create the document only if the users role is admin but i am not able to create it says permission should be either write, read, update or delete. Also if i try to create through rest api then also it is not considering the permission and allowing creation of documents.

[Faiyyaz]

Please find attached screenshot of the output i am getting while creating the post document.

This is the way i have setup the permission settings for the collection

[stnguyen90]

@Faiyyaz,

The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action

This error indicates the user does not have rights (they are not in the team with ID owner).

Invalid permissions

As stated before, you cannot put Permission.create() on a document.

I added the user in the team owner too but still facing the same issue.

Also i think we should have create permission on document because suppose in case of ecommerce app only admin users should be able to create document for product, category, etc

I added the user in the team owner too but still facing the same issue.

Would you execute teams.list() before databases.createDocument() and share the output?

Also i think we should have create permission on document because suppose in case of ecommerce app only admin users should be able to create document for product, category, etc

It doesn't make sense to add a create permission on a Document because the document would already be created. You only add the create permission on the collection and that controls who can create documents in that collection.

[Faiyyaz]

I did add the restriction on collection only if you see in the screenshots above.

Also for the teams.list() sure i will share the output in some hours.

Thanks

[stnguyen90]

Please also share the owner Team as JSON (You can get the JSON by opening the team in the Appwrite Console and clicking "View as JSON" under the Team ID.

[Faiyyaz]

Sure will do.

And sorry for the confusion about the permission i mixed up collection with document while adding bug😅

[Faiyyaz]

Hey, please find requested data

teams.list() output

owner Team as JSON

[stnguyen90]

Would you please try to put team:<ID> rather than team:<NAME>?

[Faiyyaz]

Hey, thanks alot! it is working with the team id. Just one query though can we have custom collection id or team id?
