Content-based access control (CBAC): A security approach where access to information is granted or denied based on the content within the data objects rather than solely based on user credentials or roles. This method is useful for managing access to classified or sensitive information, ensuring that only content that a user is authorized to view can be accessed. This access control method can be used in combination with other access control methods.
