Directus Integration in Lincoln
Connecting Directus to Lincoln applications, where the API is generated from your database schema. Every table becomes queryable through REST and GraphQL automatically, which is convenient and means the permission configuration is doing more work than usual — because what is exposed follows from the schema rather than from a deliberate API design.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every table in the database is now reachable through an API, and the permissions were configured for the editorial interface.
What you get
What we deliver
- Permissions reviewed specifically for API access, not only for the admin interface
- Field-level rules applied where a table holds columns that should not be public
- Tables that should not be exposed at all confirmed as inaccessible
- Tokens and roles issued per consuming application with minimal scope
- Queries written to request specific fields rather than whole records
- Caching applied, since the API sits directly in front of an operational database

Directus Integration in Lincoln — common questions
- Why does automatic API generation need care?
- Because the API surface follows your schema rather than a design. A table added for an internal process is exposed by the same mechanism as a content table, so what is reachable needs checking deliberately rather than assumed to match intent.
- Are admin permissions the same as API permissions?
- They come from the same system and are applied per role, so a role used for API access carries whatever it was granted. Reviewing what an API token can reach — rather than what an editor sees — is a separate exercise worth performing.
- Should queries request specific fields?
- Yes, for both performance and exposure. Requesting whole records returns every column the role can see, which is more data over the wire and more chance of something internal reaching a client that had no need for it.
- Does the database need protecting?
- It is now serving public requests, so yes. Caching in front of the API and sensible query limits keep an operational database from being loaded by traffic patterns it was never sized for — particularly where the same tables serve internal systems.
- Do you work with businesses across Lincolnshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lincoln businesses do you usually work with?
- Agri-food traceability and processing systems, and engineering supply chain integration on long procurement timelines. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Engineering, Higher Education and Defence.
- Do you cover the areas around Lincoln?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Peterborough, Sheffield. Lincoln is an urban area of roughly 130,000+, and we take on work across the wider Lincolnshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
