How do I force {useMasterKey: true} by default on all queries/operations?

Parse Server šŸ“”
#1

Hello, Iā€™m building a small admin web interface where the admin has entire access to do anything and everything with parse objects. Iā€™ve decided to use the master key during the initialization like

Parse.masterKey = ā€˜123456ā€™;

Everything is good so far, but when I tried to save a different user object, it says ā€œinsufficient authā€. However, I overcame this problem by specifying this option to save function like

userObj.save (null, {useMasterKey: true});

I find it not so convenient to do this way because Iā€™ve lot of query statements on a big codebase. I might probably have to do this on all my query/save statements. My question is, is there another way to force use master key on all operations by default on Parse JS API without manually including this option on each operation?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Regards
Shiv

I donā€™t think so. Youā€™ll probably need to pass {useMasterKey: true} in all operations. Make sure that nobody that is not an ā€œadminā€ has access to your frontend code. Otherwise they can easily find the master key in your code.

Hello :wave:
I would need this too because I am using parse-server on my own back-end. My back-end act king of like a proxy so it sounds ok that my back-end has full access right?
