Add access control to languages

[dave-calleja]

I am finding payload awesome to work with however where the access rules shine in most parts, they seem totally missing in others. One such case is giving a user access to only certain languages. One use case could be that you want to give access to a translator but only for a certain language.

Is this possible with current features? or Does this need to be added as a feature?

Thanks!

Hey @dave-calleja — this is a great thought.

Super easy to add too. Gonna add it to our roadmap. 👍

You can now add access control to languages by reading from the req.locale argument. For example:

access: {
  create: ({ req }) => req.locale !== 'es'
}
