Firebase firestore security rules sharing data - firebase

I have this data structure in firestore where I'm trying to link user to profile then to event. A profile can be shared by multiple users and should be able to access events for that profile.
user
- id
- email
- name
- profilePicUrl
profile
- id
- name
- dateOfBirth
- owners: [ "user1","user2" ]
- etc.
event
- id
- profileId
- name
- startDate
- endDate
I currently have:
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /users/{id} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid == id;
}
match /profiles/{id} {
allow read, write: if ("owners" in resource.data && resource.data.owners != null && request.auth.uid in resource.data.owners);
}
match /events/{id} {
allow read, write: if hasAccess(userId, resource) == true;
}
}
}
function hasAccess(userId, resource) {
// Not sure what to put here but basically need
// to get profiles where user is owner
// and get events for these profiles
}
But not sure what to put in the hasAccess function. Appreciate if someone can guide me.
UPDATE 2019/10/11
Somehow I got this to work by using the following rule:
match /events/{id} {
allow read, write: if (exists(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)) &&
"owners" in get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data &&
get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data.owners != null &&
request.auth.uid in get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data.owners);
}
UPDATE 2019/10/14
I have some permission issues with the write so I had to revise it as shown below:
match /events/{id} {
allow read: if ( exists(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId))
&& "owners" in get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data
&& get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data.owners != null
&& request.auth.uid in get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data.owners);
allow write: if ( request.auth.uid in get(/databases/$(database)/documents/profiles/$(resource.data.profileId)).data.owners );
}

What you're trying to do is actually not possible with security rules given the existing structure of your data. This is due to the fact that security rules can't perform queries against collections. The only thing you can do is get() a specific document using its known path in order to read its fields, which isn't going to help you link up documents where you can't build that path.
What you can do instead is duplicate the data required for the rule into each document that needs to be protected. This means each event document needs to have a copy of each list of owners as a field. Yes, that is going to be more hassle to keep all the events up to date if the list of owners for an event has to change.

Limiting permissions to the author not working in Firestore rules

I am attempting to move my Firebase rules from testing where every user could read and write every document to one where only the author can update or delete documents they create.
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read: if request.auth != null;
allow update, delete: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == resource.data.author_uid;
allow create: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
This set of rules is resulting in a 'Missing or insufficient permissions" error at Firebase init and if I attempt to delete a document. If I go with my original rules then everything works.
allow read, create: if request.auth != null
I do a standard firebase.initializeApp (but dont want to publish my keys here - lets just say the same initialize works with the basic rules and on three other firebase projects I have). The delete call is as follows and works with the simpler rule set as well but not the tighter rules above:
const decrement = firebase.firestore.FieldValue.increment(-1);
firestore.collection('story').doc(storyid).delete().then(function() {
firestore.collection('users').doc(getUserID()).update({
saves: decrement
});
})
(thank to Sam Stern on the FB team for guidance)
First, there was a mistake in the rules description. While request.auth.uid is defined by firebase the resource.data.author_id needs to be defined by the developer on each of their documents. In this case the 'story' document contains a 'creator' property that is the userid of the owner. So the correct variable would be resource.data.creator in the above rules.
In addition its possible to define the documentid as the userid, as is often the case when you are creating a 'user' object for each account in your firebase app. In this case the userId is the same as the documentId so the following rule would control update permissions that only allow the owner of that document to change it.
match /users/{userId} {
// In this scope the "userId" variable is equal to the documentId because of the wildcard declaration {userId}
allow update: if request.auth.uid == userId;
}

Firebase security rules for sub collections

I have the following structure:
+ properties: (collection)
- address
status
type
ownerId
renterId
+ offers (collection)
- id
amount
date
- id
amount
date
+ features (collection)
- id
name
- id
name
I would like to allow read access to the properties for owner (using ownerId), renter (using renterId) and admin.
Doing this doesn't seem to work:
match /properties/{property} {
allow read, write: if get(/databases/$(database)/documents/properties/$(property)).data.renter == request.auth.uid
|| isOwnerSeller(get(/databases/$(database)/documents/properties/$(property)))
|| isAAdmin();
}
What am I missing?
Can I also target the offer only?
service firebase.storage {
// Allow the requestor to read or delete any resource on a path under the
// user directory.
match /users/{userId}/{anyUserFile=**} {
allow read, delete: if request.auth.uid == userId;
}
// Allow the requestor to create or update their own images.
// When 'request.method' == 'delete' this rule and the one matching
// any path under the user directory would both match and the `delete`
// would be permitted.
match /users/{userId}/images/{imageId} {
// Whether to permit the request depends on the logical OR of all
// matched rules. This means that even if this rule did not explicitly
// allow the 'delete' the earlier rule would have.
allow write: if request.auth.uid == userId && imageId.matches('*.png');
}
}
According the documentation you can set rules with also this way. Follow this example and you should be able to apply your desired rules.

Firestore Security Rules: Allow User To Create Doc Only If New Doc ID is same as User ID

When users log in for the first time, I need to also call a function that creates a document in my firestore users collection to store their profile data. Using Web SDK.
(I was previously using a new user triggered event with firebase functions, but it was too slow to wait for a cold function to spin up).
Security Rule Requirements
Needs to ensure that the user can only create a document if the document id is the same as their user id (to prevent the user from creating other docs). Needs to ensure that this doc doesn't already exist.
Attempt - Works In Simulator, Not IRL
These tests pass in the simulator, but not IRL.
// Allow users to create a doc if the doc ID == their user id
allow create: if path("/databases/" + database + "/documents/users/" + request.auth.uid) == request.path;
OR
allow create: if /databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid) == request.resource['__name__']
Have also tried this (again, works in simulator, but not IRL)
match /users/{userId} {
// Allow users to read their own profile
allow create: if request.auth.uid == userId;
}
Update
I recently had to update my rule set because of some changes to the way firestore rules worked, and changes in how the "getAfter" function works. Specifically, I am now able to use request.resource for data comarisons. Anyways, it appears that I can accomplish my goals with simpler rules now so I thought I'd update this answer and share.
Goals
User can create a document, only if the new document ID matches their user ID.
User cannot declare themselves an "admin", block create / update / write requests if "admin" is a field (unless they are already an admin)
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// Allow users to create a document for themselves in the users collection
match /users/{document=**} {
allow create: if request.resource.id == request.auth.uid &&
!("admin" in request.resource.data);
}
// Allow users to read, write, update documents that have the same ID as their user id
match /users/{userId} {
// Allow users to read their own profile (doc id same as user id)
allow read: if request.auth.uid == userId;
// Allow users to write / update their own profile as long as no "admin"
// field is trying to be added or created - unless they are already an admin
allow write, update: if request.auth.uid == userId &&
(
!("admin" in request.resource.data) ||
get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.admin == true // allow admin to update their own profile
)
// Allow users to read their own feeds
match /feeds/{document=**} {
allow read: if request.auth.uid == userId;
}
}
}
}
Old Answer
So I figured out how to do this in a workaround way. I also had some additional write / update conditions that prevent the user from changing their permission level. This was for some reason, preventing any "creates" from happening. So I had to mirror the same conditions in create, and the write / update rules. For some reason this was necessary.
This new rule structure accomplishes the following
First Section, for create rule
allows the only authenticated users to create documents only in the "users" collection (during the user setup process, a document is created automatically with the same ID as their user id).
does not allow creation of a document containing the "admin" field, which would suggest they are trying to gain admin access.
it seems that validating the id of the document during creation is not possible, hence additional write / update rules below
Second Section - read, update, write
allows users to read / write / update only documents that have the same ID as their user id (user trying to create a document with an ID other than their user id will fail, also prevents the user from spamming creation of tons of docs by manipulating the client-side JS request.)
does not allow users to write / update their profile to include the "admin" field
Rules
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// Allow users to create documents in the user's collection
match /users/{document=**} {
allow create: if request.auth.uid != null &&
!("admin" in getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data);
}
// Allow users to read, write, update documents that have the same ID as their user id
match /users/{userId} {
// Allow users to read their own profile (doc id same as user id)
allow read: if request.auth.uid == userId;
// Allow users to write / update their own profile as long as no "admin" field is trying to be added or created
allow write, update: if request.auth.uid == userId &&
!("admin" in getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data);
}
}
}
PS
This was not intuitive at all, so if someone has a better workaround, please post it. Also, I'm really hoping that once firestore 1.0 is out, it will bring with it some huge improvements to rules and rule documentation.
A little bit late, but I manage to tweak one of your possible solutions and make it work:
allow create: if path("/databases/(default)/documents/users/" + request.auth.uid) == request.path;
Just had to replace the database variable with (default). Yes, not fancy...
The solution i came up with. My tests showed it's not possible to create other user-docs than the own uid and it prevents normal users to change any admin state.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
function isAdmin() {
return get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).isAdmin == true ||
get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.isAdmin == true;
}
function signedIn(){
return request.auth.uid != null;
}
match /users/{user} {
// allow updates to own user-doc
allow read, update, delete: if request.auth.uid == user &&
// allow updates to own user-doc if "isAdmin" field is the same as before the update (in case user was already admin)
(request.resource.data.isAdmin == resource.data.isAdmin ||
// or allow updates if "isAdmin" will be set to false
request.resource.data.isAdmin == false ||
// or allow updates if no "isAdmin" field exists after the update
!("isAdmin" in getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data)
);
// allow creation of user-doc with own uid and no others
allow create: if request.auth.uid == user &&
// if no "isAdmin" field is set
!("isAdmin" in getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data);
// give full access to admins
allow read, write: if isAdmin();
}
}
}

Firestore security rules for specific document

I am trying to apply the following situation :
all authenticated users have read and write access to the database except for admin document.
Admin document is accessible only for him for read and write.
My rules:
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
//Functions
function isAuthenticated(){
return request.auth != null;
}
function isAdministrator(){
return request.auth != null && request.auth.token.name == resource.data.oid;
}
//Administrator Identity Check Point
match /admin/identity {
allow read, write: if isAdministrator();
}
//Allow Reads and Writes for All Authenticated Users
match /{document=**}{
allow read, write: if isAuthenticated();
}
}//databases/{database}/documents
}//cloud.firestore
Is there any way i can achieve this, actually when testing these rules, the tests succeed because only isAuthenticated() is being called because of the tag /{document=**}. I also tried /{document!=/admin/identity} but it does not work.
How can I write a security rule that follow this model ?
Maybe on your default user rule you could check if the collection isn't admin, something like this:
//Allow Reads and Writes for All Authenticated Users
match /{collection}/{document=**}{
allow read, write: if (isAuthenticated() && collection != "admin") || isAdministrator();
}
Since June 17, Firebase has provided new improvements to Firestore Security Rules.
Firebase blog - 2020/06 - New Firestore Security Rules features
New Map methods
We'll use Map.get() to get the "roleToEdit" field. If the document doesn't have the field, it will default to the "admin" role. Then we'll compare that to the role that's on the user's custom claims:
allow update, delete: if resource.data.get("roleToEdit", "admin") == request.auth.token.role;
Local variables
Say you're commonly checking that a user meets the same three conditions before granting access: that they're an owner of the product or an admin user.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
function privilegedAccess(uid, product) {
let adminDatabasePath = /databases/$(database)/documents/admins/$(uid);
let userDatabasePath = /databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(uid);
let ownerDatabasePath = /databases/$(database)/documents/$(product)/owner/$(uid);
let isOwnerOrAdmin = exists(adminDatabasePath) || exists(ownerDatabasePath);
let meetsChallenge = get(userDatabasePath).data.get("passChallenge", false) == true;
let meetsKarmaThreshold = get(userDatabasePath).get("karma", 1) > 5;
return isOwnerOrAdmin && meetsChallenge && meetsKarmaThreshold;
}
match /products/{product} {
allow read: if true;
allow write: if privilegedAccess();
}
match /categories/{category} {
allow read: if true;
allow write: if privilegedAccess();
}
match /brands/{brand} {
allow read, write: if privilegedAccess();
}
}
}
The same conditions grant access to write to documents in the three different collections.
Ternary operator
This is the first time we've introduced an if/else control flow, and we hope it will make rules smoother and more powerful.
Here's an example of using a ternary operator to specify complex conditions for a write.
A user can update a document in two cases: first, if they're an admin user, they need to either set the field overrideReason or approvedBy. Second, if they're not an admin user, then the update must include all the required fields:
allow update: if isAdminUser(request.auth.uid) ?
request.resource.data.keys().toSet().hasAny(["overrideReason", "approvedBy"]) :
request.resource.data.keys().toSet().hasAll(["all", "the", "required", "fields"])
It was possible to express this before the ternary, but this is a much more concise expression. ;)

Restricting access to Firebase Firestore and Storage

I'm using Firebase exclusively in my app - Auth, Firestore, Functions and Storage.
Within Firestore, my data is structured as below:
/users/<user_id>/<user_data>
/listings/<listing_id>/<listing_data>
<listing_data> contains a user_id field.
Within Storage, my data is structured as below:
/images/<user_id>/<image_id>/<images>
I have the following scenario:
A user must only be able to access their listings
A user must only be able to download their files
A user can can share their name from their <user_data> with selected users
A user can share selected images with selected users
I have no ideas how I can go about this. At the moment, anyone can access anything if they're authenticated, so I guess the first step is to lock this down, and then some how assign rights?
I thought about adding an access list object, and then writing middleware to check this, but it doesn't feel like the correct way
You have to modify the rules of firestore as:
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// Restaurants:
// - Authenticated user can read
// - Authenticated user can create/update (for demo)
// - Validate updates
// - Deletes are not allowed
match /restaurants/{restaurantId} {
allow read, create: if request.auth.uid != null;
allow update: if request.auth.uid != null
&& request.resource.data.name == resource.data.name
allow delete: if false;
// Ratings:
// - Authenticated user can read
// - Authenticated user can create if userId matches
// - Deletes and updates are not allowed
match /ratings/{ratingId} {
allow read: if request.auth.uid != null;
allow create: if request.auth.uid != null
&& request.resource.data.userId == request.auth.uid;
allow update, delete: if false;
}
}
}
}
The root of my database is restaurants.You have to replace those parameters with that of yours.
