Missing or insufficient permissions when writing to Firestore using field in access rules

Question

I am getting an error when attempting to write to Firestore.

I am attempting to use a field containing the user uid for my security rule.

service cloud.f         


        

Answer 1

You can make your database available just for reading and not for writing:

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