Impact

  fields: {
    yourFieldName: multiselect({
      // this is field-level access control, for multiselect fields
      //   this is vulnerable
      access: {
        create: ({ session }) => session?.data.isAdmin,
        update: ({ session }) => session?.data.isAdmin,
      },
      options: [
        { value: 'apples', label: 'Apples' },
        { value: 'oranges', label: 'Oranges' },
      ],
      // ...
