Security rules editor - Lark

Security rules are edited in your project’s Settings page, in the right-hand panel.

Writing rules

The editor supports JSON5 syntax, so comments, trailing commas, and unquoted keys are all valid. Write your rules, then click Save Rules. The dashboard validates your rules before saving. If there is a syntax error, you will see it immediately. Rules take effect as soon as they are saved. There is no separate deploy step.

Start with permissive rules while developing, then tighten them before going to production.

Example

Here is a basic rule set that allows anyone to read player data, but only lets players write their own data:

{
  "rules": {
    "players": {
      "$playerId": {
        ".read": true,
        ".write": "auth.uid === $playerId"
      }
    }
  }
}
