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         


        

Answer 1

Meteor.users.findOne(Meteor.userId) should be changed to Meteor.users.findOne(Meteor.userId()).

Also, I'm not sure what fields on the user object that actually are transmitted to the client. You might need to changeuser.permission = 'default' to options.profile.permission = 'default' so your Accounts.onCreateUser will look like this:

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
    if(!options.profile){
       options.profile = {}
    }
    options.profile.permission = 'default'
    if (options.profile)
        user.profile = options.profile;
    return user;
});
