Role-Based Access with RLS and Custom Claims
Build advanced Row-Level Security policies that grant different access by user role using JWT claims and helper functions.
Beyond Owner-Only Policies
Basic RLS often checks auth.uid() for ownership. Real apps also need role-based rules, like admins seeing everything and editors seeing more than viewers.
Where Roles Live
You can store roles in a column on a profiles table, or embed them as custom claims in the user's JWT for fast, joinless checks.
