'''Conditional access''' (abbreviated '''CA''') or '''conditional access system''' (abbreviated '''CAS''') is the protection of content by requiring certain criteria to be met before granting access to the content. The term is commonly used in relation to [[digital television]] systems and to [[software]].

== In Software ==

Conditional Access is a function that lets you manage people’s access to the software in question, such as email, applications, documents and information. It is usually offered as [[Software as a service|SaaS]] (Software-as-a-Service) and deployed in organizations to keep company [[data]] safe. By setting conditions on the access to this data, the organization has more control over who accesses the data and where and in what way the information is accessed.

Possible conditions could be:

* Geographical ___location

* [[IP address]] and network

* Used device

* [[Browser]]

* [[Operating system|Operating System (OS)]]

When setting up Conditional Access, access can be limited to or prevented from the chosen conditions. This way it can be determined that, for example, access is only possible from certain networks or prevented from certain browsers.

Current providers of Conditional Access include:

* [[Microsoft]] (including [[Office 365]])
