  1. API controls are mechanisms that regulate access to APIs, ensuring that only authorized users or systems can interact with them. These controls are essential for safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining compliance with security standards, and preventing unauthorized actions.

    Key Features of API Controls

    API controls often rely on role-based access control (RBAC), where permissions are assigned based on user roles, such as admin, developer, or end-user. For example, an admin might have full access to all API functionalities, while a regular user might only access specific data or actions. Some APIs also implement attribute-based access control (ABAC), which considers additional factors like IP address or time of access.
