RLS and Table Inheritance - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

Do RLS policies defined at the parent, work on the child (in Table inheritance).

At the parent I have a column 'site_id' with an RLS policy that only rows with site_id = current_setting(curr_site_id) would be accessible. 

However the policy defined at the parent does not work for me in inherited tables. Is it intended that way ?

Is there a solution to reflect the RLS policy along the line of inheritance, else i have to redefine the RLS policy at each inherited table (a significant maintenance effort).

In another post I see conflicting views on this https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/d094a87d-9d63-46c9-8c27-631f881b80fb@supportex.net.

While the original post seemed to get a prototype working,  the response says that RLS policy will not be inherited and needs to be reimplemented at each table.

thanks
