Yes, absolutely. Access Control rules frequently use headers as conditions. You can check for specific header values (e.g., `Authorization`, `X-API-Key`), header presence, or even the value of a header based on regular expressions to determine whether a request should be allowed or denied. This is a common method for authentication and authorization.
