Collection Access Control

[thenaazimkhan]

Hi, The access control function is working as expected on my local development, once I deployed my app to the production server, I am not able to perform create, update, and delete opration getting the below error

I can't seem to get Payload to work on the Ubuntu 20.04 server platform as expected in production. It seems the user in the request object isn't getting passed to the access functions for all create, update and delete but my same access control logic is working fine for the read access function. from the console log it seems that req.user is undefined for all create, update and delete not for the read.

I have two collections (Admin and User)

• The User collection is for frontend users with auth enabled.
• The Admin collection is only for the admins to access the admin panel with auth enabled.

I can't figure out why it is working fine on my local development.
I am using the Admin panel provided by the payload.

System:
Local

• node: 16.19.1
• npm: 8.19.3
• yarn: 1.22.19
• os: mac 13
• payload: 1.8.3

Production

• os: ubuntu 20.04(linux)
• node: 16.19.1
• npm: 8.19.3
• yarn: 1.22.19
• payload: 1.8.3
• pm2: 5.2.2
• nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)

Did anyone get any ideas? or am I missing something in the payload configuration?

here is my payload.config.ts

also after creating the first user in the admin's collection, I am not able to perform updates and delete the existing admin user and I can create a new user in the admin collection using the admin panel. getting the same error.

I am using the as documented here
