## Why Apps can declare object and field permissions on a role via `defineRole`, but **not row-level security**. The RLS engine and the metadata-sync machinery already support predicates fully — they're first-class universal flat entities, the `FlatRole` already carries `rowLevelPermissionPredicateUniversalIdentifiers`, and the workspace-migration layer has builders/validators/handlers for them. The only gap was the **manifest layer**: `RoleManifest` had no field for predicates, so the sync converter always left them empty. As a result, the only way to ship RLS with an app was a post-install script that pushed predicates through the `upsertRowLevelPermissionPredicates` mutation. That mutation assigns predicates to the workspace's **generic custom application**, not the app that owns the role — so a single role's definition ends up split across two applications and drifts on every upgrade (you have to remember to re-run the script). The Partner app does exactly this today via `configure-partner-rls.ts`. ## What Adds `rowLevelPermissionPredicates` and `rowLevelPermissionPredicateGroups` to `RoleManifest` / `RoleConfig`, mirroring how `objectPermissions` / `fieldPermissions` already flow end-to-end: - **twenty-shared** — predicate + predicate-group manifest types on `RoleManifest` (referencing objects/fields by `universalIdentifier`, operand/logical-operator from the existing GraphQL enums). - **twenty-sdk** — `defineRole` accepts and validates them; the build derives deterministic predicate `universalIdentifier`s (groups keep an explicit one so predicates can reference them). - **twenty-server** — two converters turn manifest predicates/groups into universal flat entities during application-manifest sync, so they are created/updated/deleted together with the role and **owned by the app that ships it**. ### Bug fix found along the way The migration build order ran the `rowLevelPermissionPredicate(Group)` builders **before** the `role` builder, so a predicate declared alongside a brand-new role failed validation with `ROLE_NOT_FOUND`. They now run **after** the role builder, exactly like object/field permissions. ## Partner app (second commit) Converts `partner.role.ts` to declare its five predicates inline and **deletes `configure-partner-rls.ts`** + the `rls:configure` scripts — the workaround this PR is meant to retire. The predicates are byte-for-byte the same semantics as the script produced. > Live-deployment note: the existing script-created predicates are owned by the *custom* application, so the Partner app sync won't touch them. Clear them once (e.g. an empty upsert on the Partner role) around deploy to avoid duplicates. Kept as a **separate commit** so it can be split out if reviewers prefer. ## Testing - **Integration (full app):** new `successful-manifest-sync-row-level-permission-predicate.integration-spec.ts` — installs an app whose role declares a predicate and asserts the predicate row is created (and **owned by the app**, not the custom app), updated in place on re-sync, removed when dropped from the manifest, and removed on uninstall. Ran locally against a seeded test DB ✅. - Re-ran the existing cross-app permission + view-field manifest suites to confirm the build-order change doesn't regress object/field-permission sync (13/13 ✅). - **Unit (utils only):** `defineRole` validation and `fromRoleConfigToRoleManifest` deterministic-id derivation. - Docs: new "Row-level security" section in `apps/config/roles.mdx`. ## Scope notes / possible follow-ups - Surfacing RLS in the app-install permission summary UI was intentionally left out (predicates *restrict* rather than grant, and typically live on a non-default role) — easy follow-up if wanted. - The `upsertRowLevelPermissionPredicates` mutation still homes out-of-band predicates on the custom app for app-owned roles; making that consistent (or rejecting it, like field permissions already do) is a sensible follow-up. https://claude.ai/code/session_01MipAis9z9okd4oCm9HCKEf --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01MipAis9z9okd4oCm9HCKEf)_ <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/21919?utm_source=github" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-no-image-dialog="true"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-light.svg"><img alt="Review in cubic" src="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"></picture></a> <!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
