# 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 <table>_workspace_access ON <table>
  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

## Files Created/Modified

### Utilities

- ✅ `apps/api/src/lib/db-context.ts` - RLS helper utilities

## 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);
  });
});
```
