Hey guys! I'm facing an issue updating a password on NextJs project. Basically, I have a reset password method that works perfectly. First I send an email with a reset link, that opens a page where the user can update his password like so:

js
const { error, data } = await supabase.auth.api.updateUser(token, { password: password.trim() })

the token being the one in the url. This works, but when I try to update the password for a logged in user, using the exact same method

supabase.auth.api.updateUser

, it fails to find the user; The difference is the token is the

session.access_token

So I've tried to use the

supabase.auth.api.updateUserById

method, but it gives me another error:

{ message: 'User not allowed', status: 401 }

Any ideas? I feel the docs about this is not very clear, and probably outdated as it doesn't show all the available methods :/

I think I figured out why this happened: updateUser or updateUserById are "admin" functions, that requires to use the role_service_key. I solved my problem using the simple supabase.auth.update function
