Use Firebase Admin SDK service accounts

[hades200082]

I can't find any docs detailing how to use this and the app-secrets are depreciated.

You can't use this library with service accounts

[hades200082]

Maybe something to add as an improvement since Google are depreciating the app secrets?

I don't have the capacity to work on this, but pull requests are welcome

Just FYI, one approach we do use in production is to have a special user authenticated via email & password and allow this user special permissions in your database rules, where normal users don't have access to.

That sounds like a good workaround! thx.

I would be very interested in this feature as well. but the workaround sounds reasonable I am currently using app secret in my backend and i am afraid firebase could shut down this feature. can u provide a small snippet how u login a (kinda admin) user from backend?

FYI. I found this github project which claims to support admin sdk https://github.com/dgadelha/FirebaseNetAdmin . Will test it the next days.
Merging the code into this project will result in the most amazing .net firebase framework :)
