Is there some way to visualize or graphically manage the access to collections and fields, to users?

  Hmm

  
  
  

  I would try to use React Hooks to get information about the document

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/hooks#usedocumentinfo
  
  

  Which includes access control I believe

  
  
  

  I wonder if the API provides access info via collection requests

  Per my study, there are no APIs which provide access information regarding collections. The

  useDocumentInfo

  hook is only supposed to return information regarding the document currently being edited. This does not fulfill my requirement to get (and possibly manage) the access information for collections in a birdseye view.

  Hey, recently I wrote a simple access visualizer, it might need some adjustments for v3, works on v2 (I didn't use the default template so it's missing the sidebar and header, will have to update and push it lol).

  Maybe it'll help you a bit 🙂

  
  
  

  It displays info both about collections and fields, as it's taking the data from

  /api/access

  . Managing the access is something different though, I guess you'll have to first set up different collections for Access, Roles, etc, so later you could set up the access from the admin dashboard and not in the collection config.
