Introducing Policies: A New Approach To Permissions
Blog post from Directus
The brand new permissions system in Directus 11 is based on policies, allowing for granular control over access to specific fields, items, or combinations of conditions. Policies can be attached to users or roles and are additive, with permissions coming from all applied policies. This system provides simplified management and the ability to create context-aware permissions using dynamic variables like `$CURRENT_USER`. The new system opens up possibilities for access control in Directus, allowing developers to implement exactly the permission structure they need. Additionally, Directus 11 includes other noteworthy updates such as improved performance with mysql2 connections, new GraphQL queries and SDK functions for policies, a new clear method to cache implementations, bug fixes, and more. The latest version of Directus 11 is now available for download from Docker Hub or npm.
