SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to implementing robust data isolation for multi-tenant SaaS applications, ensuring each organization's data remains private and secure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Organization as Tenant Boundary: Enforces that all domain data is scoped by organization_id.
  • Immutable organization_id: Prevents accidental or malicious movement of data between tenants.
  • Scoped Queries: Ensures all data access is filtered by the correct organization_id.
  • Use Case: When building a new feature in a SaaS product (like a project management tool), use this Skill to ensure that each organization can only see and interact with its own projects, tasks, and users, preventing data leaks.

Quick Start

Implement multi-tenancy for a new Ash resource by adding the organization_id attribute and ensuring all read actions are scoped.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement multi-tenancy in Ash Framework to isolate SaaS organization data?

Multi-tenancy in Ash Framework is implemented by adding an immutable `organization_id` attribute to resources and ensuring all read actions are scoped to prevent cross-tenant data leaks. This approach guarantees each organization's data remains private and secure.

Why should organization_id be immutable when scoping tenant data in Elixir SaaS apps?

Making `organization_id` immutable in Elixir SaaS apps prevents accidental or malicious movement of data between tenants. This strict data isolation boundary ensures that records cannot be reassigned to a different organization after creation, maintaining tenant security.

Does Ash Framework work with ElectricSQL for multi-tenant data synchronization?

Yes, multi-tenant Ash Framework resources can integrate with ElectricSQL. The pattern addresses ElectricSQL integration and authorization patterns to ensure robust tenant management and secure data synchronization across your SaaS application infrastructure.

What are common pitfalls when scoping queries for multi-tenant SaaS database security?

Common multi-tenancy pitfalls include failing to scope all read actions by `organization_id` and allowing mutable tenant IDs. This guide provides practical Elixir code examples and migration strategies to avoid data leaks and ensure robust database security.

What's the best way to migrate existing Ash resources to organization-based multi-tenancy?

The best way to migrate existing Ash resources to multi-tenancy involves adding the `organization_id` attribute and applying scoped queries. The guide provides practical Elixir migration strategies to transition existing resources securely without data leaks.
