here's my database security rules
{
"rules": {
"User" : {
"$uid" : {
".read" : "$uid === auth.uid",
".write" : "$uid === auth.uid",
}
}
}
}
and here's the database structure.
{
"User": {
"6FzpJ2sQC9gewbUIGHB8hiNWK1z2": {
"background_image": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/final-project-idn.appspot.com/o/Default%20Images%2Fimg_background.png?alt=media&token=b51e7cf5-2015-4cc4-9583-159373d081e2",
"bio": "Member of NCT",
"email": "mark#gmail.com",
"link": "",
"profile_image": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/final-project-idn.appspot.com/o/Profile%20Pictures%2F6FzpJ2sQC9gewbUIGHB8hiNWK1z2.jpg?alt=media&token=17d71d89-353d-44fa-8f06-e33716de0611",
"uid": "6FzpJ2sQC9gewbUIGHB8hiNWK1z2",
"userName": "marklee"
}
}
}
i think it's because of my database security. but i don't really know about how should i change the rules safely.

Add rules for posts too.
{
"rules": {
"User" : {
"$uid" : {
".read" : "$uid === auth.uid",
".write" : "$uid === auth.uid",
}
}
"Posts" : {
"$uid" : {
".read" : "$uid === auth.uid",
".write" : "$uid === auth.uid",
}
}
}
}
