Using Reference in Security Rule

Suppose there are two documents that

/orgs/foo
/users/alice

and /users/alice has a reference-type field org which references /orgs/foo.

/orgs/foo should be accessible when request.auth.uid == 'alice'. How can I do that?

I guess it is something like this, but I cannot figure out. In other words, how can I get the ID of the referenced document?

function isOrgMember(orgId) {
  return get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.org.__id__ == orgId;
}

match /orgs/{orgId} {
  allow read: isOrgMember(orgId);
}

I know it's been a while since the original question but I've had a similar issue and I hope this could help you or others.

Your condition is: get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.org.__id__ == orgId;

But org is a reference, which (apparently) means you need to get it as well. Try this: get(get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.org).id == orgId;
