| 17 | +It’s meant to provide a massive boost to your development process, but more importantly, stay out of your way as your apps get more complex. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Out of the box, Payload gives you a lot of the things that you often need when developing a new website, web app, or native app: |

| 26 | +- Deep access control to your data, based on document or field-level functions |
| 27 | +- File storage and access control |
| 28 | +- A beautiful admin UI that’s generated specifically to suit your data |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +<br /> |
| 31 | + |
