What is the issue?
I've been trying to use the masterKey on the JS SDK using the info in the docs
Parse.initialize("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_KEY", "YOUR_MASTERKEY");
and didn't work.
Can you propose a solution?
I did find this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40223311/parse-js-sdk-cannot-use-the-master-key-it-has-not-been-provided
where states This actually works with browser SDK. The nodejs version requires the normal initialization
no idea what browser SDK means...
the solution in StackOverflow worked for me
Parse.initialize(process.env.PARSE_APP_ID)
Parse.masterKey = process.env.PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY

Start with the linked JavaScript Guide section and review its Parse.initialize example alongside the reported Node.js setup. Clarify the distinction between browser and Node.js SDK usage, then verify that the documented examples match the supported master-key configuration. The work is done when a reader can choose the correct setup without relying on the Stack Overflow link.
