• Part 6

We are preparing access permission for NextJS App

What access policies to setup?

First we need to understand the goal - the goal is to allow NextJS to consume the blog content and images.

Hence, we know there are 2 collections to set in Directus access policies.

Set directus_files to Public policy with READ access

Create a new policy name Presentation

Set blog with READ access, without App and Admin Access

Create a Role, name Presentation and adopt Presentation Policy

Lastly, create a bot user, set

• Status = Active
• Role = Presentation
• Generate security token

Keep the security token, that will be use for NextJS to communicate with Directus CMS.
