new AccessControl()

The AccessControl is a driver to work with TerminusDB and TerminusX access control api for the credential you can use the JWT token, the API token or the basic authentication with username and password

Example

//connect with the API token
//(to request a token create an account in  https://terminusdb.com/)
const accessContol = new AccessControl("https://servername.com",
{organization:"my_team_name",
token:"dGVybWludXNkYjovLy9kYXRhL2tleXNfYXB........"})
accessControl.getOrgUsers().then(result=>{
     console.log(result)
})
//connect with the jwt token this type of connection is only for the dashboard
//or for application integrate with our login workflow
const accessContol = new AccessControl("https://servername.com",
{organization:"my_team_name",
jwt:"eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IkpXUjBIOXYyeTFORUd........"})
accessControl.getOrgUsers().then(result=>{
     console.log(result)
})
//if the jwt is expired you can change it with
accessControl.setJwtToken("eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IkpXUjBIOXYy
eTFORUd.......")
//connect with the base authentication this type of connection is only for the local installation
const accessContol = new AccessControl("http://localhost:6363",
