Additionally  you may get this error if the collection reference from your code does not match the collection name on firebase   For example the collection name on firebase is users  but your referencing it with db collection  Users   or db collection  user    It is case sensitive as well   Hope this helps someone

I also had the  quot Missing or insufficient permissions quot  error after specifying security rules  Turns out that the the rules are not recursive by default  i e  if you wrote a rule like match  users  userId      allow read  write  if request auth    null  amp  amp  request auth uid    userId     The rule will not apply to any subcollections under  users  userId   This was the reason for my error  I fixed it by specifying the rule as  match  users  userId   document         allow read  write  if request auth    null  amp  amp  request auth uid    userId     Read more at the relevant section of the documentation

If someone lands here trying to access Firestore with a service-account   I solved this issue by granting the service-account the Service Account User role in addition to the Cloud Datastore User role in the IAM settings of GCP

Your rules should be like this for this case however the message says that it is not the suggested way  but if you do this you can do inserts with no permission error  rules version    2   service cloud firestore     match  databases  database  documents       match   document             allow read  write

For development only  Go in  Database - gt  Rules - gt  Change allow read  write  if false  to true   Note  This completely turns off security for the database  Making it world writable without authentication    This is NOT a solution to recommend for a production environment  Only use this for testing purposes

So in my case I had the following DB rules  service cloud firestore     match  databases  database  documents       match  stories  story          function isSignedIn             return request auth uid    null                     allow read  write  if isSignedIn    amp  amp  request auth uid    resource data uid              As you can see there is a uid field on the story document to mark the owner  Then in my code I was querying all the stories  Flutter   Firestore instance            collection  stories              snapshots    And it failed because I have already added some stories via different users  To fix it you need to add condition to the query  Firestore instance            collection  stories              where  uid   isEqualTo  user uid             snapshots    More details here  https   firebase google com docs firestore security rules-query EDIT  from the link  Rules are not filters When writing queries to retrieve documents  keep in mind that security rules are not filters   queries are all or nothing  To save you time and resources  Cloud Firestore evaluates a query against its potential result set instead of the actual field values for all of your documents  If a query could potentially return documents that the client does not have permission to read  the entire request fails
