## Policy-based access control for certificates

TiDB supports policy-based access control (PBAC) for certificates, leveraging policies defined by the underlying key management server. This enables fine-grained control over access based on various criteria, such as time-based policies (for example, certificates only valid during specific hours), location-based policies (for example, restricting access to certain geographic locations), and other customizable conditions, ensuring enhanced security and flexibility in certificate management.
