Connect Directus to a staging database with a representative content model. Create items through the admin app and retrieve them through the API. Test roles for public readers, editors, and administrators, including a field that must never be exposed publicly.
Schema and permission changes can affect live clients. Version configuration, rehearse migration, and export data before switching. A flexible data interface is useful when nondevelopers can manage records without undermining the database's access rules.
