Service Account Privileges for Firebase Functions

[lukaiser]

I followed your documentation and provider the following roles to the service account:

• Cloud Functions Developer
• Cloud Scheduler Admin
• Service Account User

However, when I am deploying with the flag --only functions, I get a 403: Error: HTTP Error: 403, The caller does not have permission.

Do you have any ideas what I am missing? My Google search turned up many suggestions, but noting helped yet...

Thanks for the Help!

Same here!

Found a solution.

It turned out that my Problem occured because i was doing functions:config:set but my service account did not have the Firebase Develop Admin role.

Anyone still trying to figure out why your firebase functions aren't deploying correctly. Firebase Docs state to deploy you need Owner or Cloud Functions Admin role & Service Account User role

I had the issue I was able to run my build through GitHub Actions which seemed to complete but never updated the functions the issue was the permissions above were needed.

By adding Firebase Develop Admin worked for me as well. Let me share the YAML file:

name: Deploy to Firebase

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout Repo
      uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - name: create env file
      run: |
        cd functions
        touch .env
        echo "${{ secrets.ENV_VARS }}" >> .env

    - name: Install Dependencies
      run: |
        cd functions
        npm install

    - name: Deploy to Firebase
      uses: w9jds/firebase-action@master
      with:
        args: deploy --only functions
      env:
        GCP_SA_KEY: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_IN_BASE_64 }}
