🚀 Quick Start (3 Steps)

1. Apply Database Migration

psql -U your_user -d your_database -f migrations/008_add_user_rls_config.sql

2. Configure via UI

Navigate to: http://localhost:3000/rls-config

Example Configuration:

• Select User: Bhanu
• Assign Role: ANALYST
• Add Filter: companies.region = "Region 1"

3. Test It

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/query/natural-rls" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -d '{"query": "Show all companies", "connection_id": 1, "enable_rls": true}'
