So i followed the guide on xano that shows you how to display current user data, but I always get error 401. I’m trying to get the user logged in as themselves but I can currently only seem to show the user whose ID is selected from the collections. The signed in user doesnt show up.

Hello! Thanks for your question.
Would you be able to provide a short video or screenshot of the error you’re receiving?
And to verify, have you tried this with test credentials and you’re receiving an error logging in a authenticated user in your application?
Thank you so much!
Thats the problem. I can log in with the user, but I have to first select the user on weweb’s side in the collection to get it to show the user’s information. Whenever I try to add the collection like you’re told to from the tutorial on Xano for fetching user info, I keep getting error 401 when I do Auth id. When I don’t, I get error 403 on weweb’s side.
Hi @dukemon 
You are trying to fetch data (create a collection) from a Xano endpoint that is protected.
If you try fetching the data without being logged in, you will get a 401 error.
If you try fetching the data with a user who is logged in but doesn’t have the right to access the data, you will get a 403 error.
This visual from Sitechecker may be helpful to better understand:
In your example, it looks like you might be trying to fetch data from an organization (let’s say org A). Assuming you have a pre-condition in Xano that only allows users from org A to fetch data from org 1:
- If you try fetching the data without a user being logged in to your WeWeb app, you will get a 401 error.
- If you try fetching the data from org B when a user from org A is logged in, you will get a 403 error.
Does that help?
