View Based Security vs Row Level Security
Developers should implement View Based Security when building applications that require fine-grained data access control, such as multi-tenant systems, healthcare applications with HIPAA compliance, or financial systems with role-based data segregation meets developers should learn and use rls when building applications that require strict data segregation, such as multi-tenant saas platforms, healthcare systems with hipaa compliance, or financial applications with role-based data access. Here's our take.
View Based Security
Developers should implement View Based Security when building applications that require fine-grained data access control, such as multi-tenant systems, healthcare applications with HIPAA compliance, or financial systems with role-based data segregation
View Based Security
Nice PickDevelopers should implement View Based Security when building applications that require fine-grained data access control, such as multi-tenant systems, healthcare applications with HIPAA compliance, or financial systems with role-based data segregation

- +Related to: database-security, sql-views
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Row Level Security
Developers should learn and use RLS when building applications that require strict data segregation, such as multi-tenant SaaS platforms, healthcare systems with HIPAA compliance, or financial applications with role-based data access
Pros
- +It centralizes security logic in the database, reducing the risk of application-level bugs exposing sensitive data and simplifying audit trails for regulatory compliance
- +Related to: postgresql, sql-server
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use View Based Security if: You want it is particularly useful in scenarios where different user roles (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Row Level Security if: You prioritize it centralizes security logic in the database, reducing the risk of application-level bugs exposing sensitive data and simplifying audit trails for regulatory compliance over what View Based Security offers.
