Weak authorization model lacking RBAC/ABAC support

7/10 High

Supabase lacks native RBAC and must rely on manual PostgreSQL Row-Level Security implementation. No organization hierarchy, role mapping UI, or conditional access policies based on roles, making it unsuitable for multi-tenant SaaS.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Railway for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

We'd love more granular team and permissions controls (fine-grained RBAC, project-level roles, auditability). As our organization grows, tighter access policies and more detailed controls will matter even more.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Supabase for developers in 2025?”4/6/2026

There is no native RBAC (role-based access control) system for assigning roles to users or defining permissions. You must manually implement authorization logic using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS): a powerful but low-level feature that's difficult to manage as your product scales.
