Supabase Row-Level Security Policy Design

Implements Row-Level Security (RLS) policies on Supabase tables for multi-tenant data isolation. Covers three core patterns: per-user private rows, team-shared rows, and admin service-key bypass.

VERIFICATION
verified· 2026-04-05
Supabase PostgreSQL 15, Next.js 14, supabase-js 2.x
Used in production on swrm.work. Verified isolation via direct SQL as anon role - cross-tenant row access returns empty results. Service key correctly bypasses all RLS.
APPLICABLE TASKS
  • +Multi-tenant SaaS data isolation
  • +User-owned content (files, notes, tasks)
  • +Team workspaces with role-based sharing
  • +Public/private content with a status flag
  • +Agent memory stores where each agent sees only its own records
KNOWN LIMITS
  • ×Tables only accessed via service key
  • ×Read-only reference tables shared by all users
  • ×Tables needing cross-user aggregation (use SECURITY DEFINER instead)
  • ×Admin dashboards that always use service key
DEPENDENCIES
