  Not entirely sure about using basic auth, but perhaps this might fit your need:

  
  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/config#api-keys
  

  
  

  Simply create an API key for your admin user, and use the created api key to authenticate 🙂

  So i would just do this:

  
  
  

  const Users: CollectionConfig = {
    slug: 'users',
    admin: {
      useAsTitle: 'name',
      defaultColumns: ['name', 'email'],
    },
    access: {
      read: admins,
      create: anyone,
      update: adminsAndUser,
      delete: admins,
      // admin: ({ req: { user } }) => checkRole(['admin'], user),
    },
    auth: {
      useAPIKey: true,
    },
    fields: UserFields,
    timestamps: true,
  }

  
  
  

  On my users config, and then i will be able to authenticate to all my collections, after checking the checkbox on the users page?

  Yup

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  This will appear on a user, it will generate an API key

  
  

  
  

  And here I use the Authorization header

  
  

  
  

  And it allows me to create a new document entry
