//(to request a token create an account in  https://terminusdb.com/)
const accessContol = new AccessControl("https://servername.com",

})
//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",
