Missing "execute" permission for role "users".

[kindred glacier]

hi there, im trying to run a function which i give user permission, but it's giving me this issue: Missing "execute" permission for role "users". Only "["any","guests"]" scopes are allowed and "["users"]" was given.',

[cyan glade]

It's weird as any and guests are not even in the execute access list.

[kindred glacier]

i know its weird, i updated from the 1.2x to 1.3x but i have other instance running on 1.3 from scratch with same issue

[cyan glade]

The only idea come to mind is double check all parameters and maybe try to remove to rule, save, then readd it.

[kindred glacier]

you say guest and any are not in the execute list, but i can see them on my instance, which is weird

[cyan glade]

I meant they not in the Added list

[kindred glacier]

if i add any and guest, i got this other error lool

[cyan glade]

What function do you run?

[kindred glacier]

im running a nodejs function that merge 2 collections data, since relationship still don't response anything

so im merging the data via a function

[cyan glade]

Okay, I meant what function you run to execute your function?

[kindred glacier]

aaah ok

the first part goes well if i add any and guest to the permissions scope, the issue is on the getExecution

[cyan glade]

Looking into it

[kindred glacier]

thanks

🤔🤔
It's interesting and we need confirmation for that from an Appwrite core member.
When you give a Role access to execute function, it's only for execute it.

Then the other two client-side functions listExecutions and getExecution are available only to the user who created the function.
And guest can't be identified so he can never get the status of an executions.

[kindred glacier]

ooh i see, and since im creating the function from the console, not the current logged in user on the dashboard that i have, so it never get the other 2 client side function permissions

[cyan glade]

If it is true, then
To solve it you can change your function execution code to sync.

[cyan glade]

Exactly, It seems like that.

[kindred glacier]

let me try with the async

it worked like this, which is weird, since the las argument was supposed to turn async on or off,

[cyan glade]

You can see that in the database if guest runs the function then no-one ger permission to read it

[cyan glade]

Actually it's good
Because when you passed the argument false (which is the default behavior) then you'll get back the execution status in sync

[cyan glade]

It would be nice if they would add an option for anonymous users, so you be able to run function in async.

[kindred glacier]

yes, din't know the thing that user that create the function should execute it, it can run with guess, but so far i can run it with guest

so for now il use it like this, thanks for the big help

what do you mean?

Hi guys, I have set the async flag to false like:

    session.then(function (response) {
        console.log(response); // Success
        const functions = new Functions(client);
    
        const promise = functions.createExecution('64e459b015c232d2e51d',undefined, false);  
        
        promise.then(function (response) {
            console.log(response); // Success
        }, function (error) {
            console.log(error); // Failure
        });
    }, function (error) {
        console.log(error); // Failure
    });

But I'm still getting errors:

AppwriteException: Missing "execute" permission for role "user:007". Only "["any","guests"]" scopes are allowed and "["users","user:007"]" was given.

    code: 401,
    type: 'user_unauthorized',
    version: '1.3.7'
  }
}

Anything else I can try?
