# getAccessControl()

The `getAccessControl()` utility function can be used to get an instance of the `AccessControl` class server-side, which provides methods to verify user permissions and quotas.

### Returns

Returns an instance of the [AccessControl class](/libraries/fullstack-sdk/next/references/classes/access-control) class.

### Examples

#### Verifying user permissions

```ts theme={null}
import { getAccessControl } from '@kobbleio/next/server'

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const acl = await getAccessControl();

  const hasPermission = await acl.hasPermission('permission-name');

  if (!hasPermission) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
  }

  // further logic if authorized
}
```

#### Verifying user quotas

```ts theme={null}
import { getAccessControl } from '@kobbleio/next/server'

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const acl = await getAccessControl();

  const hasRemainingQuota = await acl.hasRemainingQuota('quota-name');

  if (!hasRemainingQuota) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
  }

  // further logic if authorized
}
```

### Listing user's permissions and quotas

```ts theme={null}
import { getAccessControl } from '@kobbleio/next/server'

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const acl = await getAccessControl();

  const permissions = await acl.listPermissions();
  const quotas = await acl.listQuotas();

  return res.json({ permissions, quotas });
}
```
