5 Generic RLS Policies

1. TENANT_ISOLATION_POLICY

  • Purpose: Multi-tenant data isolation
  • Usage: All tables with tenant_id column
  • SQL Function: apply_tenant_isolation_policy(schema, table, tenant_column)
  • TypeScript: applyTenantIsolationPolicy(pool, schema, table, tenantColumn)

2. USER_DATA_POLICY

  • Purpose: User-specific data access
  • Usage: Tables with created_by, assigned_to, or owner_id
  • SQL Function: apply_user_data_policy(schema, table, user_columns[])
  • TypeScript: applyUserDataPolicy(pool, schema, table, userColumns)

3. READ_OWN_DATA_POLICY

  • Purpose: Read-only access to own data
  • Usage: SELECT-only restrictions
  • Template: Available in SQL (manual application required)

4. WRITE_OWN_DATA_POLICY

  • Purpose: Write access to own data
  • Usage: INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE restrictions
  • Template: Available in SQL (manual application required)

5. ADMIN_BYPASS_POLICY

  • Purpose: Admin access for support and management
  • Usage: All tables requiring admin override capability
  • SQL Function: apply_admin_bypass_policy(schema, table)
  • TypeScript: applyAdminBypassPolicy(pool, schema, table)

import { Pool } from 'pg';

const pool = new Pool({ /* config */ });

// Apply to single table
await applyCompleteRlsPolicies(pool, 'core', 'partners');

// Apply to multiple tables
await applyCompletePoliciesForSchema(pool, 'inventory', [
  'products', 'warehouses', 'locations'
]);

// Query with RLS context
const result = await withRlsContext(pool, {
  tenantId: 'tenant-uuid',
  userId: 'user-uuid',
  userRole: 'user',
}, async (client) => {
  return await client.query('SELECT * FROM core.partners');
});

SQL (Direct)

-- Install functions first
\i apps/shared-libs/core/database/policies/rls-policies.sql

-- Apply policies
SELECT apply_tenant_isolation_policy('core', 'partners');
SELECT apply_admin_bypass_policy('core', 'partners');
SELECT apply_complete_rls_policies('inventory', 'products');

-- Apply to multiple tables
DO $$
BEGIN
  PERFORM apply_complete_rls_policies('core', 'partners');
  PERFORM apply_complete_rls_policies('core', 'addresses');
  PERFORM apply_complete_rls_policies('core', 'notes');
END $$;

  • Standardized approach across entire ERP
  • Reduced risk of configuration errors

3. Type Safety

  • TypeScript interfaces for all functions
  • Compile-time error checking
  • Better IDE autocomplete
  • Catch errors before runtime

4. Testing

  • Comprehensive examples included
  • Migration templates provided
  • Easy to verify RLS isolation
  • Automated testing possible

5. Documentation

  • Usage examples for all scenarios
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Best practices documented

Migration Path

BEFORE (Duplicated in each vertical)

apps/verticales/construccion/database/init/02-rls-functions.sql
apps/verticales/mecanicas-diesel/database/init/02-rls-functions.sql
apps/verticales/retail/database/init/03-rls.sql
apps/verticales/vidrio-templado/database/init/02-rls.sql
apps/verticales/clinicas/database/init/02-rls.sql

Each vertical had:

  • Duplicated helper functions
  • Similar but slightly different policies
  • Inconsistent naming
  • Harder to maintain

AFTER (Centralized)

apps/shared-libs/core/database/policies/
├── rls-policies.sql          # SQL functions and templates
├── apply-rls.ts              # TypeScript API
├── README.md                 # Documentation
├── usage-example.ts          # Working examples
├── migration-example.ts      # Migration template
└── CENTRALIZATION-SUMMARY.md # This file

Verticales now use:

import { applyCompleteRlsPolicies } from '@erp-suite/core';
await applyCompleteRlsPolicies(pool, schema, table, tenantColumn);

Next Steps

1. Install SQL Functions

cd /home/isem/workspace/projects/erp-suite
psql -d erp_suite -f apps/shared-libs/core/database/policies/rls-policies.sql

2. Update Vertical Migrations

Replace duplicated RLS code with imports from @erp-suite/core:

// Old way
// CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_current_tenant_id() ...

// New way
import { applyCompleteRlsPolicies } from '@erp-suite/core';
await applyCompleteRlsPolicies(pool, 'schema', 'table');

3. Remove Duplicated Files

After migration, remove old RLS files from verticales:

  • apps/verticales/*/database/init/02-rls-functions.sql

4. Test RLS Isolation

Run the examples in usage-example.ts to verify:

ts-node apps/shared-libs/core/database/policies/usage-example.ts

5. Update Documentation

Update each vertical's README to reference centralized RLS policies.


Quick Reference

Apply RLS to All ERP Core Tables

import { batchApplyRlsPolicies } from '@erp-suite/core';

const erpCoreTables = [
  { schema: 'core', table: 'partners' },
  { schema: 'core', table: 'addresses' },
  { schema: 'inventory', table: 'products' },
  { schema: 'sales', table: 'sales_orders' },
  { schema: 'purchase', table: 'purchase_orders' },
  { schema: 'financial', table: 'invoices' },
  // ... more tables
];

await batchApplyRlsPolicies(pool, erpCoreTables);

Check RLS Status

import { getSchemaRlsStatus } from '@erp-suite/core';

const status = await getSchemaRlsStatus(pool, 'core');
status.forEach(s => {
  console.log(`${s.table}: RLS ${s.rlsEnabled ? '✓' : '✗'}, ${s.policies.length} policies`);
});

Query with Context

import { withRlsContext } from '@erp-suite/core';

const records = await withRlsContext(pool, {
  tenantId: 'tenant-uuid',
  userId: 'user-uuid',
  userRole: 'user',
}, async (client) => {
  const result = await client.query('SELECT * FROM core.partners');
  return result.rows;
});
