Supabase RLS Audit Checklist: Problem to Fix Production Guide

Run a repeatable RLS audit for Supabase policies, auth context, and query performance before incidents happen.

Tweetable Insight#

RLS audits are cheaper than post-mortems.

An RLS audit verifies policy correctness, access scope, and query performance under real auth contexts.

Skipping audits causes silent overexposure or silent access denial in production.

Teams struggle to know whether RLS policies are actually safe and complete.

Policy logic grows incrementally and coverage drifts from real access patterns.

Use a repeatable SQL audit + checklist at every release.

sql

select schemaname, tablename, policyname, permissive, roles, cmd
from pg_policies
where schemaname = 'public'
order by tablename, policyname;
