**Removing Sites**<br />

### View Your Sites

Once set up, your connected Netlify sites appear in the Deployment module. From here you can:

- See all connected sites at a glance
- Access deployment controls for each site
- Track deployment status and history

**Permissions**<br />


The Deployment module uses Directus native permissions to control access. See [Deployment Security](/guides/deployments/security) for details on configuring roles and access policies.
