How to implement user roles in Firebase

  • 772

I am using Firebase to authenticate my Flutter project with the firebase_auth package . You would need to create user roles.

For this I have read that it would be useful to use custom claims but I don't know how to use them in Flutter. The documentation only explains for other languages.

Another solution I had thought of is to create an "administrators" record in my database and add the uids there. However, if I could apply these roles directly from Firebase authentication it would help me manage read and write rules. How can I implement the roles with Fireabse?

    From what I understand you can't use user roles in Firebase with Flutter. The solution that I have given is to save the IDs in the database and from there assign each one a role, as follows:

    {
   'IDUSER1':0,
   'IDUSER2':0,
   'IDUSER3':0,
   'IDUSER4':1,
   'IDUSER5':1,
   'IDUSER5':2,
   'IDUSER5':0,
}

    As an example, using 0 for common users, 1 for moderators and 2 for administrators.
