From the Firebase documentation on Adding Firebase to your server:

Add the Firebase Admin SDK to your server

The Admin SDK is a set of server libraries that lets you interact with Firebase from privileged environments to perform actions like:

...

As said, the Admin SDKs are designed to be used in privileged environment, since using them gives you full administrative control to your Firebase project. Using it in another context would be a huge security risk, so is not possible.

If you need certain functionality from the Admin SDK in your web app, you can:

  • Use the Admin SDK in a trusted environment, such as your development machine, a server that you control, or Cloud Functions, to implement that functionality.
  • Then wrap that code in a custom API that you can call from your client-side code. If you've never done this before, Cloud Functions again provides a good starting point.
  • In your server-side code, ensure that only authorized users can invoke it.
