The admin SDK runs your code with administrative permissions. This means it bypasses the security rules of your Firebase Database. It also has functionality to manage users and mint custom tokens and can be used to send FCM messages.
The Admin SDK is a set of server libraries that lets you interact with Firebase from privileged environments to perform actions like: Read and write Realtime Database data with full admin privileges.
Firebase Admin Node. Firebase provides the tools and infrastructure you need to develop your app, grow your user base, and earn money. The Firebase Admin Node. js SDK enables access to Firebase services from privileged environments (such as servers or cloud) in Node. js.
The admin SDK runs your code with administrative permissions. This means it bypasses the security rules of your Firebase Database. It also has functionality to manage users and mint custom tokens and can be used to send FCM messages.
If you use the regular (non-admin) Firebase module, you're running as a regular Firebase client and don't have these expanded capabilities.
