Multi-Tenant Data Isolation and Permissions

Overview

Summary

Multi-Tenant Data Isolation and Permissions: Understand the risks, technical decisions, and practical next steps.

Multiple business customers share an application and must not see one another's information.

Check organization-scoped queries, row filters, account switches, caching, files, background jobs, and administrative impersonation. Define a consistent tenant boundary, test cross-tenant access, and enforce permissions at server and storage layers.

Warning Signs

  • Multiple business customers share an application and must not see one another's information.
  • Check organization-scoped queries, row filters, account switches, caching, files, background jobs, and administrative impersonation.
  • Relying on front-end filtering to separate company data.
  • The team cannot demonstrate that the required multi-tenant data isolation and permissions workflow is correct, reliable, and maintainable.

Recommended Actions

  • Define a consistent tenant boundary, test cross-tenant access, and enforce permissions at server and storage layers.
  • Check organization-scoped queries, row filters, account switches, caching, files, background jobs, and administrative impersonation.
  • Verified account isolation with tests for high-risk data paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers

  • What should be checked for multi-tenant data isolation and permissions?

    Check organization-scoped queries, row filters, account switches, caching, files, background jobs, and administrative impersonation. Define a consistent tenant boundary, test cross-tenant access, and enforce permissions at server and storage layers.

  • Is a shared database secure for multiple customers?
