 You can create a custom access controller by implementing the `AccessController` [interface](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db-access-controllers/blob/master/src/access-controller-interface.js) and adding it to the AccessControllers object before passing it to OrbitDB.
 
 ```javascript
+let AccessControllers = require('orbit-db-access-controllers')
+const AccessController = require('orbit-db-access-controllers/src/access-controller-interface')

 class OtherAccessController extends AccessController {
 
     static get type () { return 'othertype' } // Return the type for this controller
