What would be the best approach to create users who manage Payload collections?

  This might be a good place to use a roles plugin. A few community members have built this sort of thing!

  To implement this, I'd imagine the following:

  
  
  

  - Add a

  roles

  select to your user

  
  

  - Add a

  collectionAccess

  relationship field (

  hasMany: true

  ) that can specify what collections they have access to. Lock down this field's access control to those with

  admin

  role only.

  
  
  

  The following post will get you going on the first point:

  Helper functions like this will help:

  
  
  

  export const isAdmin: Access<any, User> = ({ req: { user } }) => {
    return user?.roles?.includes('admin')
  }
