What is Row Level Security? or authorization

Data System Architecture

About

When multiple users run the same query, the results that are returned to each user depend on their access rights and roles in the organization.

Example / Use case

  • A sales vice president sees results for all regions, while a sales representative for a particular region sees only data for that region.
  • Hospital: Allows doctors to view data rows only for their own patients, and that allows insurance claims administrators to view only specific rows for their specific site.
  • Bank: Only employees in the finance department are allowed to see customer invoices, payments, and accrual data; only European HR employees can see European employee data)
  • Tenant: A multi-tenant application can create logical separation of each tenant's data so that each tenant can see only their own data rows.
