you're using an API key somehwere where you shouldn't

i'm using an api key here on the server sdk. What should i use instead?

export async function createUserClient() {
  const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT)
    .setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT)
    .setKey(process.env.NEXT_APPWRITE_KEY);

  return {
    client,
    account: new Account(client),
  };
}

You should not be using it with a user client

See https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/server-side-rendering

I'm getting the same problem on the server, but using the Python SDK. Following the instructions here, I'm creating a Client and providing the API key. When I attempt to call certain endpoints, e.g. get_session, I get the error

appwrite.exception.AppwriteException: [email protected] (role: applications) missing scope (account)

I don't see any account related scopes available in the API Keys section (see screenshot).

I'm working on a Streamlit app which uses appwite to auth, amongst other things. The Streamlit app backend is where the appwrite Python SDK is being used.
