supabase-auth

To set up Supabase authentication and RLS in Next.js, you need to configure client helpers, server-side middleware, and database policies. This generates the necessary boilerplate to restrict access to specific dashboard routes based on user roles.

Role-based access control with Supabase is implemented using Row Level Security policies and database triggers. This approach manages user, teacher, and admin roles by restricting data access directly at the database level based on a profiles table.

Yes, you can create user profiles automatically using database triggers. When a new user authenticates, the trigger executes to automatically generate their corresponding profile entry in the database.

You need an active Supabase project environment and a standard Next.js directory structure. These prerequisites are required to correctly generate the authentication boilerplate, middleware, and database security policies.

Supabase RLS policies secure SaaS applications by enforcing data access restrictions at the database layer. Combined with Next.js middleware, this prevents unauthorized access to specific dashboard routes based on the user's assigned role.
