The Principle
Only give people access to the data they need.
Roles and Permissions
CREATE ROLE analyst LOGIN PASSWORD 'securepass';
GRANT SELECT ON orders TO analyst;
REVOKE UPDATE ON orders FROM analyst;
Row-Level Security (RLS)
Let users only see rows they are allowed to see.
ALTER TABLE orders ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY see_own_orders ON orders FOR SELECT USING (user_id = current_user_id());
