# M2 Multi-Tenant Database Layer - Implementation Summary
**Milestone:** M2 Multi-Tenant
**Issues:** #9 (Team Model), #10 (Row-Level Security)
**Date:** 2026-01-29
**Status:** ✅ Complete
## What Was Implemented
### 1. Team Model (#9)
Added comprehensive team support for workspace collaboration:
#### Schema Changes
**New Enum:**
```prisma
enum TeamMemberRole {
OWNER
ADMIN
MEMBER
}
```
**New Models:**
```prisma
model Team {
id String @id @default(uuid())
workspaceId String @map("workspace_id")
name String
description String?
metadata Json
// ... relations to Workspace and TeamMember
}
model TeamMember {
teamId String
userId String
role TeamMemberRole @default(MEMBER)
joinedAt DateTime
// ... relations to Team and User
}
```
**Updated Relations:**
- `User.teamMemberships` - Access user's team memberships
- `Workspace.teams` - Access workspace's teams
#### Database Tables Created
- `teams` - Stores team information within workspaces
- `team_members` - Join table for user-team relationships with roles
### 2. Row-Level Security (#10)
Implemented comprehensive RLS policies for complete tenant isolation:
#### RLS-Enabled Tables (19 total)
All tenant-scoped tables now have RLS enabled:
- Core: `workspaces`, `workspace_members`, `teams`, `team_members`
- Data: `tasks`, `events`, `projects`, `activity_logs`
- Features: `domains`, `ideas`, `relationships`, `agents`, `agent_sessions`
- UI: `user_layouts`
- Knowledge: `knowledge_entries`, `knowledge_tags`, `knowledge_entry_tags`, `knowledge_links`, `knowledge_embeddings`, `knowledge_entry_versions`
#### Helper Functions
Three utility functions for policy evaluation:
1. **`current_user_id()`** - Retrieves UUID from `app.current_user_id` session variable
2. **`is_workspace_member(workspace_uuid, user_uuid)`** - Checks workspace membership
3. **`is_workspace_admin(workspace_uuid, user_uuid)`** - Checks admin access (OWNER/ADMIN roles)
#### Policy Pattern
Consistent policy implementation across all tables:
```sql
CREATE POLICY
_workspace_access ON
FOR ALL
USING (is_workspace_member(workspace_id, current_user_id()));
```
### 3. Developer Utilities
Created helper utilities for easy RLS integration in the API layer:
**File:** `apps/api/src/lib/db-context.ts`
**Key Functions:**
- `setCurrentUser(userId)` - Set user context for RLS
- `withUserContext(userId, fn)` - Execute function with user context
- `withUserTransaction(userId, fn)` - Transaction with user context
- `withAuth(handler)` - HOF for auto user context in handlers
- `verifyWorkspaceAccess(userId, workspaceId)` - Verify access
- `getUserWorkspaces(userId)` - Get user's workspaces
- `isWorkspaceAdmin(userId, workspaceId)` - Check admin access
- `createAuthMiddleware()` - tRPC middleware factory

## How to Use
### In API Routes/Procedures
```typescript
import { withUserContext } from '@/lib/db-context';
// Method 1: Explicit context
export async function getTasks(userId: string, workspaceId: string) {
return withUserContext(userId, async () => {
return prisma.task.findMany({
where: { workspaceId }
});
});
}
// Method 2: HOF wrapper
import { withAuth } from '@/lib/db-context';
export const getTasks = withAuth(async ({ ctx, input }) => {
return prisma.task.findMany({
where: { workspaceId: input.workspaceId }
});
});
// Method 3: Transaction
import { withUserTransaction } from '@/lib/db-context';
export async function createWorkspace(userId: string, name: string) {
return withUserTransaction(userId, async (tx) => {
const workspace = await tx.workspace.create({
data: { name, ownerId: userId }
});
await tx.workspaceMember.create({
data: { workspaceId: workspace.id, userId, role: 'OWNER' }
});
return workspace;
});
}
```
### Testing RLS
```sql
-- Manual testing in psql
SET app.current_user_id = 'user-uuid-here';
-- Should only see authorized data
SELECT * FROM tasks;
-- Should be empty for unauthorized workspace
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE workspace_id = 'other-workspace-uuid';
```
## Verification Checklist
- ✅ Team model added to schema
- ✅ TeamMember model added with roles
- ✅ All tenant-scoped models have `workspaceId` foreign key
- ✅ RLS enabled on all tenant-scoped tables
- ✅ RLS policies created for all tables
- ✅ Helper functions implemented
- ✅ Developer utilities created
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation written
- ✅ Migrations applied successfully
- ✅ Prisma client regenerated
## Security Notes
### Defense in Depth
RLS provides **database-level security** but is part of a layered approach:
1. **Authentication** - Verify user identity
2. **Application validation** - Check permissions in API
3. **RLS policies** - Enforce at database level (failsafe)
### Important Reminders
⚠️ **Always set `app.current_user_id` before queries**
⚠️ **RLS does not replace application logic**
⚠️ **Test with different user roles**
⚠️ **Use `withoutRLS()` only for system operations**
## Performance Considerations
- ✅ All tables have indexes on `workspaceId`
- ✅ Helper functions marked as `STABLE` for caching
- ✅ Policies use indexed columns for filtering
- ✅ Functions use `SECURITY DEFINER` for consistent execution
## Next Steps
### Immediate (Required)
1. **Update API routes** - Add `withUserContext` to all routes
2. **Add middleware** - Use `createAuthMiddleware()` in tRPC
3. **Test access control** - Verify RLS with multiple users
4. **Update frontend** - Handle workspace selection
### Future Enhancements (Optional)
1. **Team-level permissions** - Extend RLS for team-specific data
2. **Project-level isolation** - Add policies for project sharing
3. **Audit logging** - Track all data access via RLS
4. **Fine-grained RBAC** - Extend beyond workspace roles
## Testing Instructions
### 1. Verify Migrations
```bash
cd apps/api
npx prisma migrate status
# Should show: Database schema is up to date!
```
### 2. Test RLS in Database
```sql
-- Connect to database
psql mosaic
-- Create test users and workspaces (if not exist)
-- ...
-- Test isolation
SET app.current_user_id = 'user-1-uuid';
SELECT * FROM workspaces; -- Should only see user 1's workspaces
SET app.current_user_id = 'user-2-uuid';
SELECT * FROM workspaces; -- Should only see user 2's workspaces
```
### 3. Test API Utilities
```typescript
// In a test file
import { withUserContext, verifyWorkspaceAccess } from '@/lib/db-context';
describe('RLS Utilities', () => {
it('should isolate workspaces', async () => {
const workspaces = await withUserContext(user1Id, async () => {
return prisma.workspace.findMany();
});
expect(workspaces.every(w =>
w.members.some(m => m.userId === user1Id)
)).toBe(true);
});
it('should verify access', async () => {
const hasAccess = await verifyWorkspaceAccess(userId, workspaceId);
expect(hasAccess).toBe(true);
});
});
```
