Directus offers a highly flexible and control-oriented approach to managing data access within data-driven projects, such as digital experiences, internal tools, or SaaS applications. It provides granular permissions and rule-based access control, allowing administrators to define precise access privileges through a combination of roles and rules. Users can configure permissions with ease by setting roles that dictate the standard CRUD+S operations, with options for custom configurations to fit specific needs. The platform supports system collections management and allows for the creation of access tokens for API authentication. Although each user is limited to one role currently, Directus plans to expand this functionality to allow multiple role assignments. The system's full revision control ensures transparency in tracking changes, and a variety of additional permissions, such as app access and two-factor authentication, further tailor user interactions.
