Description

Firebase firestore authentication works sometimes and sometimes returns insufficient permissions, all users who are login in are authenticated, see attached the firestore rules, a picture of different 'users' (in the app, the code to show the user profile is the same however) ![Screenshot 2024-09-25 at 10 42 56](https://github.co

Reproducing the issue

Create a flutter firebase app with authentication, and connecting to firestore with rules that only allow authenticated users to access the firestore, and run it on web

Screenshot 2024-09-25 at 11.19.53 Same code, different user clicked, not errors

[SelaseKay]

Hi @krumpking , thanks for submitting this report. Which auth method are you using?

[krumpking]

Email and password

[SelaseKay]

Hi @krumpking , this error typically occurs when you're not authenticated. Could you please confirm that you're authenticated before attempting to fetch data from Firestore?

[krumpking]

Yes, I also attached another screenshot of the same code, on a different 'user' account, to the user it's different but the code is the same,

[SelaseKay]

I'm unable to reproduce this on my end. Can you try inspecting(printing) the uid of the current user(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.uid)? If the the value is null, it implies the user is not logged in.

[krumpking]

Okay, thank you, what would cause the user to log in and out? Like that?

[SelaseKay]

I'm quite certain the login session expires after some period of time.
