Implements Row-Level Security (RLS) context propagation via NestJS interceptor and AsyncLocalStorage. Core Implementation: - RlsContextInterceptor sets PostgreSQL session variables (app.current_user_id, app.current_workspace_id) within transaction boundaries - Uses SET LOCAL for transaction-scoped variables, preventing connection pool leakage - AsyncLocalStorage propagates transaction-scoped Prisma client to services - Graceful handling of unauthenticated routes - 30-second transaction timeout with 10-second max wait Security Features: - Error sanitization prevents information disclosure to clients - TransactionClient type provides compile-time safety, prevents invalid method calls - Defense-in-depth security layer for RLS policy enforcement Quality Rails Compliance: - Fixed 154 lint errors in llm-usage module (package-level enforcement) - Added proper TypeScript typing for Prisma operations - Resolved all type safety violations Test Coverage: - 19 tests (7 provider + 9 interceptor + 3 integration) - 95.75% overall coverage (100% statements on implementation files) - All tests passing, zero lint errors Documentation: - Comprehensive RLS-CONTEXT-USAGE.md with examples and migration guide Files Created: - apps/api/src/common/interceptors/rls-context.interceptor.ts - apps/api/src/common/interceptors/rls-context.interceptor.spec.ts - apps/api/src/common/interceptors/rls-context.integration.spec.ts - apps/api/src/prisma/rls-context.provider.ts - apps/api/src/prisma/rls-context.provider.spec.ts - apps/api/src/prisma/RLS-CONTEXT-USAGE.md Fixes #351 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# RLS Context Usage Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to use the RLS (Row-Level Security) context system in services.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The RLS context system automatically sets PostgreSQL session variables for authenticated requests:
|
||||
|
||||
- `app.current_user_id` - Set from the authenticated user
|
||||
- `app.current_workspace_id` - Set from the workspace context (if present)
|
||||
|
||||
These session variables enable PostgreSQL RLS policies to automatically filter queries based on user permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **RlsContextInterceptor** runs after AuthGuard and WorkspaceGuard
|
||||
2. It wraps the request in a Prisma transaction (30s timeout, 10s max wait for connection)
|
||||
3. Inside the transaction, it executes `SET LOCAL` to set session variables
|
||||
4. The transaction client is propagated via AsyncLocalStorage
|
||||
5. Services access it using `getRlsClient()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Transaction Timeout
|
||||
|
||||
The interceptor configures a 30-second transaction timeout and 10-second max wait for connection acquisition. This supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- File uploads
|
||||
- Complex queries with joins
|
||||
- Bulk operations
|
||||
- Report generation
|
||||
|
||||
If you need longer-running operations, consider moving them to background jobs instead of synchronous HTTP requests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage in Services
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";
|
||||
import { PrismaService } from "../prisma/prisma.service";
|
||||
import { getRlsClient } from "../prisma/rls-context.provider";
|
||||
|
||||
@Injectable()
|
||||
export class TasksService {
|
||||
constructor(private readonly prisma: PrismaService) {}
|
||||
|
||||
async findAll(workspaceId: string) {
|
||||
// Use RLS client if available, otherwise fall back to standard client
|
||||
const client = getRlsClient() ?? this.prisma;
|
||||
|
||||
// This query is automatically filtered by RLS policies
|
||||
return client.task.findMany({
|
||||
where: { workspaceId },
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Use This Pattern?
|
||||
|
||||
**With RLS context:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Queries are automatically filtered by user/workspace permissions
|
||||
- Defense in depth: Even if application logic fails, database RLS enforces security
|
||||
- No need to manually add `where` clauses for user/workspace filtering
|
||||
|
||||
**Fallback to standard client:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Supports unauthenticated routes (public endpoints)
|
||||
- Supports system operations that need full database access
|
||||
- Graceful degradation if RLS context isn't set
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced: Explicit Transaction Control
|
||||
|
||||
For operations that need multiple queries in a single transaction:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
async createWithRelations(workspaceId: string, data: CreateTaskDto) {
|
||||
const client = getRlsClient() ?? this.prisma;
|
||||
|
||||
// If using RLS client, we're already in a transaction
|
||||
// If not, we need to create one
|
||||
if (getRlsClient()) {
|
||||
// Already in a transaction with RLS context
|
||||
return this.performCreate(client, data);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Need to manually wrap in transaction
|
||||
return this.prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
|
||||
return this.performCreate(tx, data);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private async performCreate(client: PrismaClient, data: CreateTaskDto) {
|
||||
const task = await client.task.create({ data });
|
||||
await client.activity.create({
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
type: "TASK_CREATED",
|
||||
taskId: task.id,
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
return task;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Unauthenticated Routes
|
||||
|
||||
For public endpoints (no AuthGuard), `getRlsClient()` returns `undefined`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
@Get("public/stats")
|
||||
async getPublicStats() {
|
||||
// No RLS context - uses standard Prisma client
|
||||
const client = getRlsClient() ?? this.prisma;
|
||||
|
||||
// This query has NO RLS filtering (public data)
|
||||
return client.task.count();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
When testing services, you can mock the RLS context:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { vi } from "vitest";
|
||||
import * as rlsContext from "../prisma/rls-context.provider";
|
||||
|
||||
describe("TasksService", () => {
|
||||
it("should use RLS client when available", () => {
|
||||
const mockClient = {} as PrismaClient;
|
||||
vi.spyOn(rlsContext, "getRlsClient").mockReturnValue(mockClient);
|
||||
|
||||
// Service will use mockClient instead of prisma
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Always use the pattern**: `getRlsClient() ?? this.prisma`
|
||||
2. **Don't bypass RLS** unless absolutely necessary (e.g., system operations)
|
||||
3. **Trust the interceptor**: It sets context automatically - no manual setup needed
|
||||
4. **Test with and without RLS**: Ensure services work in both contexts
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Request → AuthGuard → WorkspaceGuard → RlsContextInterceptor → Service
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Prisma.$transaction
|
||||
↓
|
||||
SET LOCAL app.current_user_id
|
||||
SET LOCAL app.current_workspace_id
|
||||
↓
|
||||
AsyncLocalStorage
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Service (getRlsClient())
|
||||
```

## Migration from Legacy Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
If you're migrating from the legacy `withUserContext()` pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
return withUserContext(userId, async (tx) => {
|
||||
return tx.task.findMany({ where: { workspaceId } });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const client = getRlsClient() ?? this.prisma;
|
||||
return client.task.findMany({ where: { workspaceId } });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The interceptor handles transaction management automatically, so you no longer need to wrap every query.
