Row Level Security Policy Cookbook for Supabase
SQL patterns for owner-only data, team workspaces, roles, share links and storage buckets, each with pgTAP tests you can run locally.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $29 one-time (unlimited projects)
- Daily math
- 2 sales every 3 days x $29 = about $19/day; a few extra sales a month take the average past $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $550 - $850 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: Developers building multi-user or multi-tenant apps on Supabase/Postgres.
Urgency: Row Level Security mistakes either lock users out or expose other customers' data. Policies for teams, roles and sharing are hard to get right from scratch, and many projects ship without tests for them.
MVP scope
- ✓ Patterns: owner-only rows, team/organisation membership, role-based access (owner/admin/member/viewer), public read with private write, share-by-link
- ✓ Storage bucket policies matching each pattern
- ✓ pgTAP tests for every policy, runnable with the Supabase CLI test command
- ✓ Performance notes per pattern (indexes on policy columns, avoiding per-row function calls)
- ✓ Migration files plus a short README per pattern explaining when to use it
Omitted features
- - Do NOT build a hosted policy generator in v1
- - Do NOT copy Supabase documentation text; link to it
- - Do NOT ship any pattern without passing tests

One-shot master prompt
Create a "Supabase RLS Cookbook" repository with a docs site. Core requirements: 1. Schema baseline migration: profiles, organisations, organisation_members (role enum: owner, admin, member, viewer), projects, documents, share_links. 2. One folder per pattern (owner-only, org membership, role-based write, public-read/private-write, share-by-link token, admin override via service role) with a migration containing the policies and a README explaining when to use it and common mistakes. 3. Storage policies for a private bucket keyed by organisation id and a public bucket for avatars. 4. pgTAP test files for each pattern that set the JWT claims for different users and assert allowed and denied selects, inserts, updates and deletes; all runnable with `supabase test db` against a local Supabase stack. 5. Docs site with one page per pattern, copy buttons, and a performance checklist (index policy columns, wrap auth.uid() in a select). Link to official docs instead of copying them.
