You're deploying production-grade security for FinSecure, a real fintech startup. This isn't a simulation - you'll implement actual Supabase Row Level Security (RLS), Auth0 integration, and Edge Functions that could secure live financial applications handling real customer data and transactions.
Your production challenge: Build enterprise-grade database security using Supabase's free tier, implement zero-trust architecture, and create real security monitoring that meets financial industry compliance standards!
Before implementing production security, ensure you have:

-- ✅ Solution - use proper role permissions
-- Grant only necessary permissions to roles
