let gennodeACMInstance = new gennodeACM({
    host        : "localhost",

    // todo : Your Schema goes here
);

3. On a post save hook set your acm with default allowed accesses as illustrated below.

schema.post('save', function(doc) {
    let objectACM = {
        schemaName : "schemaName", // Defines the schema/model name
        serviceName : "serviceName", // Defines the service name where the schema is located
        object : doc._id, // Defines the object id ( or anything you consider unique )
        accessControl : { // Defines the default access roles on your data
            read : ["any"],
            update : ["Admin 1", "Admin 2", "Admin 3"],
            delete : ["Admin 2"],
        }
    };

    // Set acm here.
    gennodeACMInstance.setACM(objectACM, function (error, response, body) {
        console.log(response);
    });
});
