Adds a "Default privileges for new entities" checkbox under "Enable Data
API" in both the main create flow and the Vercel deploy-button flow.
Default checked (current behaviour). When unchecked, runs
`buildDefaultPrivilegesSql('revoke')` after the base init script so new
entities in `public` aren't auto-granted to `anon` / `authenticated` /
`service_role`.

This PR decouples the two surfaces:

- **`tableEditorApiAccessToggle`** — unchanged; still gates only the
integrations → Data API settings UI.
- **`dataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault`** (new) — controls only the default
state of the new checkbox at project creation. `true` → checkbox
unchecked by default (revoke runs); `false`/absent → checkbox checked by
default (no behaviour change).

The new flag is already live in PostHog at **0% rollout, off for
everyone**, so shipping this PR changes nothing until the flag is
explicitly flipped.

## Added

- `apps/studio/hooks/misc/useDataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault.ts` — reads
the new PostHog flag. Returns `false` in `IS_TEST_ENV` so existing E2E
flows don't silently change default behaviour.
- Checkbox UI in `SecurityOptions.tsx` (main flow) and
`pages/integrations/vercel/[slug]/deploy-button/new-project.tsx` (Vercel
flow), with copy matching the integrations → Data API settings page.
- Tooltip + dimmed state for the main-flow checkbox when "Enable Data
API" is unchecked (can't configure default privileges if Data API is
off).
- Telemetry: `dataApiDefaultPrivilegesGranted` (raw checkbox value) and
`dataApiRevokeOnCreateDefaultEnabled` (raw flag, conditionally included
using the existing raw-flag pattern so undefined flag state → omitted
property, not `false`).
- Vitest unit tests for the new hook.

## Changed

- `pages/new/[slug].tsx`: removed the `false &&` rollback guard. Revoke
SQL now runs only when `dataApi && !dataApiDefaultPrivileges`. Dropped
the now-unused `useDataApiGrantTogglesEnabled` import.
- `pages/integrations/vercel/[slug]/deploy-button/new-project.tsx`: this
flow was **never rolled back** — it still ran revoke whenever
`tableEditorApiAccessToggle` was on for a user. Now correctly gated on
the new flag + checkbox state.
- `packages/common/telemetry-constants.ts`: added the two new properties
and corrected the `tableEditorApiAccessToggleEnabled` docstring (it no
longer claims to control project-creation revoke behaviour).

## Kill switch

Flipping `dataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault` to off in PostHog fully disables
the revoke SQL for new projects without needing a redeploy — the
checkbox just defaults to checked again.

## Follow-ups (not blockers)

- joshenlim's review comments on PR 43704: (1) Auth Policies table row
incorrectly showing "exposed via Data API" based on schema-level check
instead of table-level at
`apps/studio/components/interfaces/Auth/Policies/PolicyTableRow/index.tsx:64`;
(2) Data API integrations page showing zero exposed tables even after
exposing one. Both unrelated to this PR but will be more visible once
the checkbox lands.
- Once this flag fully rolls out, the old `tableEditorApiAccessToggle`
docstring/comments elsewhere should stop claiming it controls project
creation.

## To test

- **Flag off (default state, simulates post-merge):** create a project
with and without "Enable Data API" checked. The new "Default privileges
for new entities" checkbox should default to **checked**. Submitting
should produce an identical result to today — new tables in `public` are
reachable via the Data API.
- **Flag on (simulate rollout):** override the flag locally. The
checkbox should default to **unchecked**. Creating a project with it
unchecked should run the revoke SQL; create a new table in `public`
afterwards and confirm it's not reachable via the Data API until grants
are added.
- **Enable Data API off:** the new checkbox should render disabled +
dimmed with a tooltip reading "Enable the Data API to configure default
privileges." The revoke SQL should not run in this case regardless of
checkbox state.
- **Vercel flow:** repeat at
`/integrations/vercel/<slug>/deploy-button/new-project` — verify both
checkbox states.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added an "Automatically expose new tables and functions" checkbox to
project creation and Vercel deploy flow; enabled only when Data API is
available (disabled with tooltip otherwise) and affects initial project
provisioning.

* **Telemetry**
* Tracks exposure of the default-privileges control and includes
checkbox state and feature-flag status on project-creation submissions.

* **Tests**
* Added tests for flag behavior, exposure tracking, deduplication, and
submission telemetry.

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the contributing checklists to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v20
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
