When you you the Firebase Admin SDK on any platform, there is no sense of current logged in user. The Admin SDK gives you privileged access to Firebase and Cloud products using a service account for authentication and authorization. It doesn't use a Firebase Authentication account.

Only the mobile and web clients have a sense of currently logged in user, because they require the user to authenticate in order to gain acccess.

  • So it’s it possible that I can check the uid of a logged in user using the python-firebase module ? – RustyRyan Nov 26 '19 at 17:56
  • I'm not sure what you're asking. You can use the Firebase Admin SDK to perform a bunch of tasks with regard to authenticated users. Take a look at the documentation to see what you can do. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/manage-users – Doug Stevenson Nov 26 '19 at 17:58
