Stephen,
First, Thank you for your answer!

the table through the view will result in the RLS policy being applied.
Sure, you are right.
Excuse me for stupid question, but may be you will describe how I can
create view for table with restricted access to rows per roles?
For clirefy question, desered scenario:
1. create table
2. enable row level security policy for roles
3. create view without `where` with same rules
4. switch to one of restricted roles, receive on select restricted rows by
policy permissions.
I tryed to avoid additional code, that is why I choose this `view` way. But
now it's looks like wrong way for me.
Anyway thank you!
Regards,
Artur Dudnik
