How to use Firestore Document Reference in Firebase Cloud Storage Security Rules?

allow write: if /databases/(default)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid) in 
  firestore.get(/databases/(default)/documents/businesses/$(businessDocId)).data.team;

The get().data.team value is an array which contains a Firestore document reference type.

I'm getting a permission error when using this for Cloud Storage, although a similar call in Firestore security rules works.

Working solution:

function isBusinessOwner(businessDocId) {
  let businessTeamArray = firestore.get(/databases/(default)/documents/businesses/$(businessDocId)).data.team;
  let businessOwner = businessTeamArray[0];
  return businessOwner in businessTeamArray;
}

Unfortunately with this solution, I have to manually choose an index in the array, therefore restricting the possibility of having multiple business owners in the array to compare against.

That first line looks off.

What do you expect this to do?

/databases/(default)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)

If you want to read a field from the document in Firestore, use firestore.get() there too, just as you do in the second line:

allow write: 
  if firestore.get(/databases/(default)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.fieldToCheck
  in firestore.get(/databases/(default)/documents/businesses/$(businessDocId)).data.team;
