While testing record creation in public CloudKit database for authenticated user I am able to do so without any issues. But for devices missing iCloud account or authentication expired I am seeing the below error:

▿ <CKError 0x97a959200: "Permission Failure" (10/2007); server message = "CREATE operation not permitted"; op = 67331DE3AF3DD666; uuid = 1F3ACD4F-A799-4CD4-ADF0-EDE9E12F2DCB; container ID = "***">

_nsError : <CKError 0x97a959200: "Permission Failure" (10/2007); server message = "CREATE operation not permitted"; op = 67331DE3AF3DD666; uuid = 1F3ACD4F-A799-4CD4-ADF0-EDE9E12F2DCB; container ID = "***">

I am unable to add create/write permission to _world security role in dashboard. Screenshot 2026-02-23 at 11.19.13 AM.png

Is this something not supported by Cloudkit? Only authenticated iCloud users will be able to create and write data to public database as well?

_world security permission gives anyone with or without an iCloud account the ability to create, read or delete a record. So why would you even want to give the user without an iCloud account permission to create or delete a record?
