Row-level security production checklist: test every path before launch

UpdatedSeptember 4, 2026

A row-level security production checklist should prove more than “RLS is enabled.” A production database needs the right grants, policies for each operation, tests for allowed and denied paths, safe handling of views and functions, and a review process that catches a missing tenant boundary before launch.

Supabase’s Row Level Security guide makes the key point clearly: grants and policies work together. A policy narrows which rows an operation can affect, but adding a policy does not remove an overly broad table grant. Start with the access model, then verify the database behavior with a role that matches the application request.

EAS build secrets stay out of bundles when env profiles and eas.json split right
