Abstract: Methods and systems for creating and extending a row-level security (RLS) policy are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes creating an RLS policy for a primary object and searching a relationship database for one or more child relationships of the primary object. The method may further include filtering the one or more child relationships to identify a valid child relationship of the primary object. A child object of the primary object may then be identified based on the valid child relationship. The method may further include receiving a request to extend the RLS policy to the child object, and extending the RLS policy to the child object.
