Register the agent
Assign the agent an identity and a role for its intended purpose.
AI Agent Identity & Access
Autonomy needs
defined authority.
Give the agent its own identity. Preserve the authority of the person it acts for. Keep delegated permissions inside both boundaries.
The practical view
What this means for your team.
AI agent identity and access management defines who an agent is, what it is permitted to do and on whose behalf it acts. AGMIO checks both the human and agent identities when evaluating delegated authority.
From question to control
A focused path forward.
Preserve human context
Carry the delegating person’s identity and role into the workflow.
Apply the intersection
Permit only the actions allowed by both the human’s permissions and the agent’s assigned role.
For example, if an agent may read and update a record but the person may only read it, the delegated action is limited to reading. An agent should not become a route around a person’s permissions.
A few useful answers
Before you
take the next step.
Why is a user identity alone not enough?
The agent may have a different purpose and a narrower scope than the user. Its own identity allows the two permission sets to be evaluated separately before combining them for a delegated action.
How can we evaluate this on our own workflow?
Start with a conversation about the agent, tools, data and controls in scope. A guided pilot can then focus on a defined use case and the evidence needed to evaluate it.
