- [SSH authentication](./ssh-authentication.mdx) - Connect from one endpoint device to another via SSH.
- [Authenticate CLI applications](./cli-app-authentication/index.mdx) - Authenticate CLI based applications like `aws` and `kubectl`.

[Device access groups](./device-access-groups.mdx) allow you to control which users have access to a device.
