In this guide, you will learn how to create and use custom roles with Storage to manage role-based access to objects and buckets. The same approach can be used to use custom roles with any other Supabase service.
Supabase Storage uses the same role-based access control system as any other Supabase service using RLS (Row Level Security).
## Create a custom role
Let's create a custom role `manager` to provide full read access to a specific bucket. For a more advanced setup, see the [RBAC Guide](/docs/guides/auth/custom-claims-and-role-based-access-control-rbac#create-auth-hook-to-apply-user-role).
```sql
create role 'manager';
-- Important to grant the role to the authenticator and anon role
grant manager to authenticator;
grant anon to manager;
```
## Create a policy
Let's create a policy that gives full read permissions to all objects in the bucket `teams` for the `manager` role.
```sql
create policy "Manager can view all files in the bucket 'teams'"
on storage.objects
for select
to manager
using (
bucket_id = 'teams'
);
```
## Test the policy
To impersonate the `manager` role, you will need a valid JWT token with the `manager` role.
You can quickly create one using the `jsonwebtoken` library in Node.js.
<Admonition type="danger">
Signing a new JWT requires your `JWT_SECRET`. You must store this secret securely. Never expose it in frontend code, and do not check it into version control.
</Admonition>
```js
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken')
const JWT_SECRET = 'your-jwt-secret' // You can find this in your Supabase project settings under API. Store this securely.
const USER_ID = '' // the user id that we want to give the manager role
const token = jwt.sign({ role: 'manager', sub: USER_ID }, JWT_SECRET, {
expiresIn: '1h',
})
```
Now you can use this token to access the Storage API.
```js
const { StorageClient } = require('@supabase/storage-js')
const PROJECT_URL = 'https://your-project-id.supabase.co/storage/v1'
const storage = new StorageClient(PROJECT_URL, {
authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
})
await storage.from('teams').list()
```
