Firebase - Missing or insufficient permissions

I'm using Firestore for my project and it seems to have some collection reference error.

ERROR FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions. at new FirestoreError (localhost:4200/vendor.js:66703:28)

Iv' used Angular Firebase in the past and it seems like I'm doing the same thing as I did last time.

my query is very simple and its looks like that 

public getUsers(): Observable<any> {
    return this.afs.collection('users').valueChanges();
  }

I didnt make any changes for the Database rules 

   service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if false;
    }
  }
}

Do you have any idea why is that keep hapening?

You need change the Database rules if you like allow all permissions to everyone. (It's unsafe, recommended only for development environment.)

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if true;
    }
  }
}

or

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

if you need read and write in the database only for login users.

You could change 'false' to 'true'. It will allow read/write access to all users under any conditions but NEVER use this rule set in production; it allows anyone to overwrite your entire database.

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if true;
    }
  }
}

As the comment above said, I've changed the false to true in the database rules

/databases/users can't possibly be the path of a collection in your database, since collections can only have an odd number of path components. What you have right now looks like a document reference.

If you have a collection called "users", then the collection reference just looks like this:

this.afs.collection('users')

"databases" is not part of that path. That's just used with security rules.
