📝 Walkthrough

Changes

Updated the "Secure APIs" section in en/docs/api-design-manage/design/design-api-overview.md to improve grammatical accuracy. Modified the phrasing from "who access APIs" to "who can access APIs" in the description of essential API management capabilities (authentication, authorization, and rate limiting).

Impact

This is a documentation-only change that improves the readability and clarity of the API design documentation. No functional changes to the product.

Walkthrough

This pull request contains a single documentation correction in the API design overview file. The "Secure APIs" section text was adjusted to improve phrasing: the sentence now reads "who can access APIs" instead of "who access APIs" when describing essential API management capabilities such as authentication, authorization, and rate limiting. The change is a grammatical refinement with no impact to code or functionality.
