Policy-based access control

Policy-based access control (PBAC) is a security method that determines who can access specific resources based on a set of predefined rules or policies. These policies consider various factors such as user roles, locations, time of access, and other conditions to decide if access should be granted or denied. Instead of fixed permissions for each user, PBAC allows for flexible, dynamic control that adapts to different situations, ensuring that access rights align with organizational standards and security requirements. This approach helps manage complex permissions efficiently while maintaining security and compliance.
