Firebase Auth Integration in Oxford
Integrating Firebase Authentication into Oxford applications, where signing in and being allowed to see something are separate problems. Authentication tells you who a user is; security rules decide what they can read — and an application that adds the first without writing the second gives every signed-in user access to everybody else's data.
Why this comes up
The problem
Users log in successfully, and any authenticated account can read the entire database.
What you get
What we deliver
- Security rules written alongside authentication rather than left permissive
- Rules tested with the emulator, including as users who should be refused
- Custom claims used for roles rather than storing them where clients can edit them
- Token verification performed server-side wherever a decision depends on it
- Sign-in methods chosen deliberately, since each carries its own recovery path
- Account linking handled, so one person does not end up with several accounts

Working in Oxford

Oxford's economy runs on research and life sciences, and a lot of the work here starts with a research group or spin-out that needs a prototype turned into something other people can safely use.
Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand.

Firebase Auth Integration in Oxford — common questions
- Is authentication enough on its own?
- No — it only establishes identity. Without security rules restricting what each user can read and write, being signed in is sufficient to reach everything, which is the most common serious mistake in Firebase applications and rarely noticed from inside the product.
- How should rules be tested?
- Against the cases that should fail. The emulator lets you assert that one user cannot read another's records, and those negative tests are the ones with value — a rule set only ever tested by its author signing in tells you almost nothing.
- Where should roles be stored?
- In custom claims on the token, not in a document the client can write to. A role held in an ordinary database record can be altered by the user it describes unless rules prevent it, and that is a promotion to administrator waiting to happen.
- What about duplicate accounts?
- They arise when someone signs in with a different method than before — email one time, a social provider the next. Deciding how accounts are linked before launch avoids a support queue of people who cannot find their own data and have no idea why.
- Do you work with businesses across Oxfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Oxford businesses do you usually work with?
- Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand. Beyond that we work across Research & Higher Education, Life Sciences, Publishing, Technology and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Oxford?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, London. Oxford is an urban area of roughly 170,000+, and we take on work across the wider Oxfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
