Granting Firebase Access to eDirectory

Introduction

Firebase is a crucial platform that acts as the backend for your eDirectory mobile app, handling database management and enabling the powerful functionality of push notifications. These notifications are essential for keeping your app users informed and engaged with timely updates. To provide you with the best possible support for your Firebase setup and ensure the optimal performance of your mobile app, our team may require access to your Firebase account. This guide provides a clear, step-by-step process for inviting us.

Note: It is important to note that this procedure is only applicable when one of our developers is directly assisting you with submitting your App, particularly if you have purchased our App Submission Service or require any form of assistance. However, it is essential to clarify that eDirectory is not accountable for the submission of your app to the stores.

Steps to Grant Firebase Access:

  1. Access the Firebase Website:
    • Begin by visiting the Firebase website: Firebase.
    • Log in using your Google email address and password.
  2. Go to the Console:
    • Once you're on the Firebase homepage, click on "Go to console" (or similar wording) typically located at the top of the page. This will take you to your Firebase project dashboard.

  1. Create a New Project (If Necessary):
    • If you haven't already created a Firebase project for your app, click on "Get started" or a similar prompt to create a new one.
    • Enter a descriptive name for your project. We recommend using your app's name to keep things organized.
    • Review and accept the Firebase terms of service, and then click "Continue."

  1. Google Analytics (Optional Configuration):
    • Firebase may prompt you to enable Google Analytics. You can choose whether or not to do so. This feature provides valuable insights into app usage but is not mandatory for granting eDirectory access.
    • Click "Create project" to finalize the project creation.

  1. Access User Permissions:
    • After your project is successfully created, you will be directed to its dashboard.
    • Look for a gear icon (usually in the top right corner of the screen) and click on it. From the dropdown menu, select "Users and permissions."

  1. Add a Member:
    • On the "Users and permissions" page, you'll see a list of current project members and their assigned roles.
    • Click on the "Add member" button to begin the invitation process.

  1. Enter Our Information:
    • A popup window will appear where you need to enter the following details:
      • Email address: edirectorycs@gmail.com
      • Role: Select "Owner" from the available options. This role grants us the necessary permissions to assist you effectively.
    • Click "Add member" to send the invitation.

  1. Notify Our Team:
    • After you've sent the invitation, please promptly inform our support team by sending an email to support@edirectory.com. This notification ensures we can quickly accept the invitation and begin assisting you with your Firebase setup or troubleshooting.
