  Hey

  @661298338939011077

  , I couldn't find the docs page for this but you have direct access to the mongoose model inside the local API via

  collections.slug.Model
  
  

  Does this fit within your needs?

  Yep you have complete access to the models like

  @858693520012476436

  described.

  
  
  

  When accessing a model directly just know that things like access-control & hooks will not run (which is fine). Only

  payload.

  operations (create/read/update/delete etc.) trigger hooks and access control to run.

  Is there any way to access the mongo connection NOT through a model (e.g. so you could run database level operations?)

  that's a question for mongoose honestly but it's a good question

  
  
  

  i bet mongoose has some way of doing that

  
  
  

  payload itself doesn't though
