Another useful feature of SSH certificates is that you can sign a user’s public key to grant them access to a remote machine for a limited time and as a specific remote user.

The capacity to grant access as a specific remote user is present without certs as well right? The typical authorized_keys file lives under a user directory and grants access only to that user.
