supabase-rls-auth

Supabase auth verification differs because getSession() reads client-side state which can be stale, whereas getUser() makes a server roundtrip to securely validate the user's identity token. Always use getUser() to enforce proper authorization checks.

Supabase Row Level Security policies for per-user access control are designed by defining table-specific rules that restrict data visibility. This approach ensures users only interact with rows they own, enforcing identity verification workflows across both client and server code.

Security defaults for Supabase RLS setup include revoking public schema access and ensuring proper key usage. Applying these secure defaults prevents unauthorized data exposure before you implement specific per-user access control policies.

Supabase RLS policies allow unauthorized access when relying on getSession() for authorization checks, as it uses potentially stale client data. Switch to getUser() to perform strict server-side identity verification and correct your policy implementation.

Yes, Supabase RLS patterns are framework-agnostic. Client initialization and token refresh are handled as environment concerns, allowing you to apply the same identity verification workflows and access control policies across any frontend stack.
