all comments played at list

need user to press button delete to delete his comment

and no one can delete comment not his

[![this is my data structure]

Answer 1

Solution1: Add a user's uid in the comment. Use that uid to match the current logged-in user's uid to show delete button in your UI. data structure for comments: [{uid, name, photoUrl, rating, text}]

Solution2: The above way should work but essentially all users had delete access to anyone's comment.. it's just that you're not showing the mechanism in UI. for better security I guess you should look at https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/security something like should work

{
  "rules": {
    "items": {
      "$item_id" : {
        "comments": {          
          "$comment_id": {            
            ".read": "auth != null",
            ".write": "auth != null && (data.child('uid').exists() ? (data.child('uid').val() == auth.uid) : true)"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
