next.js - make user data available throughout the website? Is it the right approach?

Hi guys, I'm a little lost at this point, and I'm asking for some help. I am creating an application that will need to have a dashboard, but since there are 3 user types, this dashboard will need to be different for each type. I was thinking of making the user data available throughout the site so I can use properties to modify the gui, but I don't know where to start (I have tried unsuccessfully to create a provider using this query:

const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*').eq('id', session.user.id).single()

const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*').eq('id', session.user.id).single()

const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*').eq('id', session.user.id).single()

const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*').eq('id', session.user.id).single() ).

Can you guys help me out? In your opinion is this the right approach?

Hey @Dario I'm quite new to Supabase and databases in general but have been learning a lot over the last few days and am thoroughly enjoying myself.

I believe here you would want to use RLS on your profiles table and allow the user to only see their own data. Therefore you could just do;
const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*')const { data, error, status } = await supabase.from('profiles').select('*')

If this makes sense?

This would work for the dashboard, but presumably you want users to be able to see other profiles at some stage too. That's where I'm not sure the best way to go and would like to hear from someone more experienced. As in my application I too will be having a personal dashboard and user profiles.
