 :::caution Nexus PDP configuration can change between early-access releases
 As of September 2026, Nexus PDP is in early access. Permit can rename, replace, or remove the variables and defaults on this page before general availability. Pin the Nexus PDP image to a specific tag, and check this page when you upgrade. If you depend on a specific variable, tell Permit support at [support@permit.io](mailto:support@permit.io).
