GraphQL

Security

Securing your GraphQL API.


pg_graphql fully respects builtin PostgreSQL role and row security.

Table/Column Visibility

Table and column visibility in the GraphQL schema are controlled by standard PostgreSQL role permissions. Revoking SELECT access from the user/role executing queries removes that entity from the visible schema.

For example:


_10
revoke all privileges on public."Account" from api_user;

removes the Account GraphQL type.

Similarly, revoking SELECT access on a table's column will remove that field from the associated GraphQL type/s.

The permissions SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE all impact the relevant sections of the GraphQL schema.

Row Visibility

Visibility of rows in a given table can be configured using PostgreSQL's built-in row level security policies.
