Protect the workspace
Keep one workspace out of another
Keep each organization's records unreachable from another workspace, enforced in the query and again beneath it.
Scope every tenant record to its organization in the query, in the schema, and under a database-level policy.
What this changes for your team.
Organization ownership is part of how a tenant record is read rather than a label applied afterwards: service queries constrain on it, and composite foreign keys carry it so a reference cannot cross a workspace boundary even when application code asks it to. A database-level row-security policy sits underneath as a second floor, where a request running in an organization scope returns nothing rather than another tenant's rows if its filter was omitted.
How it works in practice.
- 01
Constrain each tenant read on the requesting organization at the database, not after loading the record.
- 02
Keep the organization identifier inside the foreign keys that link tenant-owned records together.
- 03
Run sensitive paths inside an organization scope where the database refuses cross-tenant reads and writes.
What you can plan around.
The behaviour you can design against, stated concretely.
Fetching an organization-scoped record by primary key alone is refused in review; the query must name the organization.
A row-security policy covers every tenant table as a second floor, adopted path by path rather than replacing query-level scoping.
An automated check fails the build when a new tenant table ships without that policy.
Staff support access runs under an explicit, expiring, audited grant, and credential-writing routes are blocked for its duration.
