Payload Access Control

Description

Payload CMS lets you control who can read or change each piece of content through code. These ten PDF lessons begin with access control fundamentals and the setup of user authentication and collections.

You then implement role-based access control, write custom access functions, and set field-level permissions. Later lessons cover multi-tenant patterns, testing and debugging access rules, and real application examples. The final lessons address security practices, common pitfalls and advanced scenarios. Code appears in the text, so some experience with Payload or similar tools helps you follow the examples.

Who it is for: developers who build applications on Payload CMS and need to control who can access what.
