+Event Grid also supports authenticating with a shared access signature which allows for providing access to a resource that expires by a certain time without sharing your access key:
+```C# Snippet:CreateWithSas
+var builder = new EventGridSasBuilder(new Uri(topicEndpoint), DateTimeOffset.Now.AddHours(1));
+var keyCredential = new AzureKeyCredential(topicAccessKey);
+var sasCredential = new AzureSasCredential(builder.GenerateSas(keyCredential));
+EventGridPublisherClient client = new EventGridPublisherClient(
