I am switching my Firebase functions from one Firebase account to another.
I have rerun firebase init.
I have added the new service account configs to the project and am passing it to admin.initializeApp. I have logged into GCP via my CLI and have run firebase login:ci as well.
Despite all this, whenever I try to run firebase deploy, I am met with the error:
Missing permissions required for functions deploy. You must have permission iam.serviceAccounts.ActAs on service account #appspot.gserviceaccount.com.
Any idea what's going on here?
This doesn't have anything to do with the service account you use to initialize the Firebase Admin SDK. The error has to do with the lack of permission of the Google Account that you used to sign in with the Firebase CLI. It doesn't have permission to deploy to Cloud Functions. You should either sign out then sign back in with an account that has permission (typically "editor" role), or add the appropriate permission to the account that you want to use.
If you're migrating to a new Firebase project / account, you must delete the project's existing .firebaserc and firebase.json files before running firebase init - this will ensure that you're using the updated project configs.

so what every i am doing in the gcp giving it roles iam roles to configure the policies , i am not able to do to my firebase project. i am able to log into it using my terminal with firebase login and then then firebare init is there and i put the function initilaize but it says i don't have permission to do that i need to give it permission so i open the file
/iam-admin/iam?folder=&organizationId=&project=clone-6de06 because this is my firebase project but i dont' have access to it in the gcp so i am not able to change the permission to change the policy or
need to run the role command
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ourcafe-mucqxq
--member=serviceAccount:service-1044193269753#gcf-admin-robot.iam.gserviceaccount.com
--role=roles/cloudfunctions.serviceAgent as that says it will take care of following error: Deployment of your Cloud Function failed:
Missing necessary permission resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy for
service-1044193269753#gcf-admin-robot.iam.gserviceaccount.com on
resource projects/ourcafe-mucqxq. Please grant
service-1044193269753#gcf-admin-robot.iam.gserviceaccount.com the
Cloud Functions Service Agent
any help will be appreciated thank for the help.
Did you try to log in to firebase with a proper account?
If you're not sure that your account with proper permission, you can go to Firebase project >> Project settings >> Users and permission to check that your account is on the list with the right permission.
Also, you can see all of the accounts on the IAM of GCP console.
I'm trying to deploy a Firebase hosted project with a Service Account (that I created myself, not one provided by Google/Firebase as default) via a pipeline (Gitlab, but that shouldn't matter for this issue).
When I run the following command locally (same happens in the pipeline):
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/serviceaccount.json" firebase deploy --only hosting
I'm getting the following error:
=== Deploying to 'my-firebase-project'...
i deploying hosting
Error: HTTP Error: 403, The caller does not have permission
The --debug does not provide any more details, other than the 403. I've set the following roles to the serviceaccount:
Firebase Hosting Admin
Firebase Rules Admin
API keys viewer
Deploying the rules (using --only firestore) works without issues. I've read the documentation about the roles of Firebase hosting, but assigning these don't work either.
Does anyone know which roles I'm missing?
Note: a service account is used here to do a deployment, so any firebase login / firebase logout actions won't have any effect. See Login to firebase using gcloud service account for details.
With the help of Firebase support, I was pointed to the Deploying to Firebase page, which provides an enumeration of all required roles. To sum it up here:
Cloud Build Service Account
Firebase Admin
API Keys Admin
I was missing the first one, which resulted in this error. Hope that this'll help others as well!
You have to add the role at the cluster level using oadm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-reader system:serviceaccount:myproject:default
Permissions recommended for the Cloud Build service account in the official Google documentation and the Firebase CLI community builder docs are insufficient:
In the permissions table, locate the email ending with #cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com, and click on the pencil icon.
Add Cloud Build Service Account, Firebase Admin and API Keys Admin roles.
I still get the following error in Cloud Build when I do firebase deploy:
Error: HTTP Error: 403, The caller does not have permission
What I've tried is different Firebase IAM roles, Editor, and Owner. So far only the Owner role works. That is way too much privilege for a Cloud Build service account, and violates the least-privilege model.
Everything is in the same Google Cloud project.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this? Or know which role/permission is missing?
For our project (which uses Firestore, Functions, Hosting, and Storage extensively) here is the list we came up with. Critically I wanted to avoid "Firebase Admin" because I did not want this service account to have access to read/write my Firestore data:
Artifact Registry Administrator
Cloud Build Service Account
Cloud Datastore Index Admin
Cloud Functions Admin
Cloud RuntimeConfig Admin
Cloud Scheduler Admin
Firebase Hosting Admin
Firebase Rules Admin
Pub/Sub Admin
Service Account User
tl;dr seems like it was "an accidental permission expansion" that has been corrected.
I am able restrict the roles to:
Cloud Build Service Account
Firebase Admin
API Keys Admin
I was trying to deploy my first firebase cloud function using firebase cli but I encountered an error instead :
C:\Users\Anurag Tripathi\Desktop\firebasecloudfunction> firebase deploy --only functions
Error: Missing permissions required for functions deploy. You must have permission iam.serviceAccounts.ActAs on service account project_number#appspot.gserviceaccount.com.
To address this error, ask a project Owner to assign your account the "Service Account User" role from this URL:
https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam?project=project_number
I tried to solve the problem by following the instruction but didn't get any success . Please help.
Edit : I have abandoned the project :( , so I really can't test the answers. Thanks all for the answers and comments. I will accept the most upvoted answer.
This is what worked for me. First run firebase login:list to find out if the account logged into firebase cli is the same account authorized in your Google Cloud Console. If not, run firebase logout <email> then firebase login, then deploy again.
As specified in the docs, apart from the Service Account User role, you should assign the Cloud Functions Admin role to the Service Account that you are using to deploy the functions
It turned out I had the wrong project name in the .firebaserc file. After changing the name to the correct google cloud project name it worked.
firebase projects:list
If the current Firebase account doesn't have your project, you have to logout first.
firebase logout
firebase login
firebase projects:list
firebase use <project ID>
So for example,
firebase use stripesample1
firebase projects:list
firebase deploy --only functions
I was having same issue, I just did firebase logout and firebase login and issue resolved
I had this issue with a co-worker who inherited the Firebase Admin role from the Organization the project belongs to.
I confirmed he had inherited the role but not all the same permissions as when you assign the role manually from Firebase Console -> Users and Permissions.
So, I could have followed the instructions in the link shown in the error log. But I thought it was safer to just re-assign the Firebase Admin role from firebase console. That solved the issue.
I am using the firebase login:ci token for CI/CD. But there is not enough documentation regarding the token.
Does it have access to all my firebase projects where my account has access or only the current active project?
Where can I see a list of all tokens and their activity?
The solution I am going for is creating a throwaway email and adding that to the project I want to deploy. Is this ok?
When you run firebase login:ci you get prompted to log in with a Firebase account. After picking your account, you get a dialog that shows the permissions you're granting. This contains:
This will allow Firebase CLI to:
View and administer all your Firebase data and settings
So if you click Allow in that dialog, the Firebase CLI will have access to all Firebase projects that the account has access to. The generated token does (as far as I know) have access to the same scope.
