Can't add user attribute using Accounts.onCreateUser

Question

I tried to add an attribute \'permission\' to all newly created users. But it somehow doesn\'t work. I use this code to add the attribute

 Accounts.onCreateU

You create it properly. The problem is that client does not see this value. Taken from documentation:

By default the server publishes username, emails, and profile

So you need to publish / subscribe for the additional fields.

Server:

Meteor.publish('userData', function() {
  if(!this.userId) return null;
  return Meteor.users.find(this.userId, {fields: {
    permission: 1,
  }});
});

Client:

Deps.autorun(function(){
  Meteor.subscribe('userData');
});
