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. ![Screenshot 2024-05-09 085711](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/9/953f49d67d8489fcea4d06c37db932189635a3b4.png) ![Screenshot 2024-05-09 085741](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/16deb3a6ea53c3df97fbc4ca446ba760b5f9d83f.png) ---

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: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/f15c1baf62dbfe3e93d331f739ba44389fe51722.png) 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? ---

Thank you. But now I’m getting null values from the authenticated user when trying to bind the image to the xano auth user. ![Screenshot 2024-05-16 192412](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/b/be4f73ed3c219459d0674a8c08087d26ec14cbeb.png)
