Setting _acl when saving a new object

stephanie lo

started a topic over 7 years ago

I'm trying to save a new object with .setGloballyWritable/setGloballyReadable true. I did the below code before saving that was similar to some of the examples:

collection.metadata = KCSMetadata()

collection.metadata.setGloballyWritable(true)

collection.metadata.setGloballyReadable(true)

However, when I try to save the object, I get

'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil (key: _kmd)'

Is there a way to set _acl without creating the object first and backtracking?

Hi Stephanie,

Please take a look at the following link for setting Entity level permissions and the corresponding code snippets as well:

http://devcenter.kinvey.com/ios/guides/security#Entitylevelpermissions

Also, provide me with following information:

KinveyKit version you are using

Code of the class that represents your entity (where you have the metadata member variable and the hostToKinveyPropertyMapping() function)

Code for the entity object creation and saving the entity object.

Thanks,
Pranav
