Supabase Storage RLS Policies Work Reliably Only When Created via SQL Editor
A developer building RamenHire, a job board platform, encountered persistent 400 and 403 errors when uploading files to Supabase Storage despite configuring Row Level Security policies through the dashboard UI. Investigation revealed that UI-generated policies were not correctly targeting the storage.objects table that Supabase actually checks during file operations. The root cause was an abstraction gap in the dashboard, which applies policies at the bucket configuration layer rather than directly on the underlying Postgres storage.objects table. Manually dropping the UI-created policies and recreating them via the SQL Editor resolved the issue immediately. Developers facing similar Supabase Storage permission errors are advised to verify active policies using the pg_policies table and manage storage RLS exclusively through raw SQL.
