Key Insights

1
Security

Database-Level Tenant Isolation

RLS policies provide a final line of defense against cross-tenant data leakage by enforcing isolation at the database level, independent of application logic.

2
Security

Session Context Validation

Secure session management requires validating tenant membership before setting database context variables that drive RLS policy decisions.

3
Testing

Comprehensive RLS Testing

Security tests must verify both tenant isolation and role-based access restrictions across different user contexts and scenarios.

4
Performance

Index Strategy for RLS

Composite indexes on tenant_id and related fields are essential for maintaining query performance when RLS policies are enforced.
