In this case, I'm probably gonna wanna work with the schema locally in my development environment, so I'm gonna make sure that we give it, admin role access as well in my direct assistance. When you go to production, highly recommend stripping that out, and using a more scoped access policy, with these AI actors.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Alright. So with that out of the way, we've got everything we need. Then we're just gonna pop over to the Directus documentation, and I'm just gonna copy this one liner and we're gonna go in and change our Directus URL.
