Updating User Class Data Using Parse Server in Node.js

As a developer working with Parse Server, you might encounter scenarios where you need to update a user's information, especially after certain verifications like mobile number verification. If you're facing issues updating a property in the user class, you're not alone! In this post, we’ll break down the problem and provide a step-by-step solution.

The Problem: Unable to Modify User Class Data

In your case, you're trying to update the user's isSmsVerified field after the user has verified their mobile number. The error that you received,

indicates that the current user does not have the necessary permissions to modify the user data. This issue typically arises due to the strict ACL (Access Control List) policies in Parse Server.

The Solution: Using Master Key for User Update

To make updates to sensitive data like user information, you can utilize the masterKey. This key bypasses ACL restrictions and grants permission to perform any operation on your users. Here’s how to effectively implement it:

Now you’re equipped with the knowledge to update user data effectively after mobile number verification! Happy coding!
