Closes DOCS-1274 ## Problem The `build-docs-002-rls-guide` eval points an agent at the Row Level Security guide with a vibe-coder prompt that never says RLS, policy, role, or test. It failed 6 of 35 checks. Each failure traces to something the guide doesn't say. - **Grants.** `anon` kept insert, update, and delete on all four to-do tables. Both client roles kept writes on the weather feed. 24 privileges untouched. - **Indexes.** Missing on `list_members.user_id`. The agent indexed the other three, so it missed the composite-primary-key case specifically. - **Tests.** No pgTAP files. `Result: NOTESTS`, so the coverage judge never ran. ## Solution - **Add a `Grants and policies` section.** - **Rewrite the opening danger admonition around revoke-then-grant.** It previously showed `grant` only, which reads as though privileges start from nothing. - **Drop the `(or primary keys)` carve-out from `Add indexes`.** A column counts as indexed only when it leads a `btree` index, shown with a composite-primary-key example. - **Add a `Test your policies` section.** Covers file location under `supabase/tests/`, `supabase test db`, role and identity switching, which assertion matches which denial, and an 11-assertion example spanning allow and deny for all four operations across `anon` and `authenticated`. Used the supacademy RLS course as a second reference. Its framing of grants running before RLS shaped the new section. ## Manual testing 1. Open the [Row Level Security guide](https://docs-git-docs-rls-revision-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security) on the preview. `Grants and policies` and `Test your policies` appear in the table of contents. 2. Select the `Grants and policies` link at the end of the first admonition. It jumps to the new section. 3. Open the [markdown version](https://docs-git-docs-rls-revision-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security.md), which is what agents fetch. Both new sections and the revised `Add indexes` text are present. 4. From `apps/docs`, run `pnpm lint:mdx`. The 4 warnings on this file match `master`, with no new ones. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Documentation * Clarified that exposed tables must enable row-level security. * Explained the distinction between database grants and row-level security policies. * Added least-privilege examples for client roles, including read-only access. * Added pgTAP testing guidance with a complete `profiles` example. * Clarified that composite indexes support policy filters only on their leading columns. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
