Hello @lugehorsam, thanks for your reply!

In my scenario, users do not require to know each other’s ids. In any case, I solved my scenario as described in this topic [How to write/load Global Storage Objects from Client without User Id](https://forum.heroiclabs.com/t/how-to-write-load-global-storage-objects-from-client-without-user-id/1207)

I just replaced ReadStorageObjectsAsync by ListStorageObjectsAsync.

I noticed that a Storage Object is uniquely identified by Collection + Key + User Id, so to read an Storage Object I actually need to know the user id of the owner of the object, but I can list all storage objects of a collection as far as they are configured as public read.

This is how I create the objects:

client.WriteStorageObjectsAsync(session, new WriteStorageObject  
{  
Collection = “active\_matches”,  
Key = match.Id,  
Value = $"{{ “matchid”: “{match.Id}”}}",  
PermissionRead = 2,  
PermissionWrite = 1  
});

This is how I list the objects:

IApiStorageObjectList activeMatchesList = client.ListStorageObjectsAsync(session, “active\_matches”, 10).Result;
