Row-Level Security (RLS)

A database security feature that controls access to specific rows in a table based on user permissions.

What is Row-Level Security (RLS)?

Row-Level Security (RLS) allows database administrators to define access control policies at the row level.

RLS ensures data visibility is restricted based on user roles.

Common use cases for RLS include:

  • Multi-tenant applications needing data separation
  • Enterprise applications with role-based data access
  • Compliance requirements for data privacy

    • PostgreSQL, Supabase, and Firebase offer built-in RLS capabilities.
