SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand and implement robust Row Level Security (RLS) policies in Supabase, ensuring that users can only access the data they are authorized to see.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RLS Policy Creation: Provides patterns and step-by-step guidance for creating RLS policies for various scenarios (own data, public read, role-based access).
  • Debugging Access Issues: Offers strategies for diagnosing and fixing "Row not found" or "permission denied" errors related to RLS.
  • Use Case: When adding a new orders table to your Supabase project, use this Skill to ensure that customers can only view their own orders, while chefs can only manage their own dishes.

Quick Start

Use the supabase-rls-patterns skill to create a SELECT policy for the 'orders' table that allows only the owner to view their own orders.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a Supabase RLS policy for role-based access control?

To debug Supabase RLS permission denied errors, review your policy conditions against the user's role and authentication state. Strategies include verifying table-level RLS enablement, checking policy targeting, and tracing query execution to resolve access control issues.

What is the best way to restrict users to their own data in Supabase?

Supabase RLS policies are evaluated at the database level for every query, regardless of client APIs. The policy logic intercepts requests to ensure access control rules are enforced before data is returned, securing information directly within the database.

Can I use RLS policies to secure a public read table in Supabase?

You can secure a public read table in Supabase by creating an RLS policy that allows SELECT access for the anon role. This grants public read permissions while still enabling you to restrict write access to authorized users only.

Why does my Supabase query return zero rows when RLS is enabled?

A Supabase query returns zero rows when RLS is enabled if no policy matches the user's authentication token or role. You must debug access issues by verifying that your policy conditions correctly target the user's specific ID or role.
