Identity & Enterprise Context
Consume trusted identity, ownership, lifecycle and access context—or activate native governance capabilities where licensed.
Capabilities index
Give every AI agent clear authority. Enforce it at runtime.
IntentGate governs what AI agents are authorized to do, who is accountable for them, and the boundaries within which they may operate. At runtime, IntentGate evaluates and enforces that authority before consequential actions execute.
Business Authority Governance
Defines purpose, ownership, scope, tools, actions, limits and approval requirements. Approved Business Authority can activate as bounded IntentGrants for runtime use.
Runtime Authorization & Enforcement
Checks consequential actions before execution and enforces authority, policy and runtime controls.
Integrate IntentGate with your existing identity platform.
IntentGate consumes trusted identity, ownership, lifecycle and access context from the systems already in place, then adds Business Authority Governance, runtime authorization and Continuous Proof.
- Keep your existing identity platform
- Consume identity and lifecycle context
- Add AI-agent Business Authority
- Enforce authority at runtime
- Create continuous execution evidence
Activate native identity governance where required.
Where no identity governance capability is in place—or where consolidation is desired—IntentGate can also provide lifecycle, access, roles, approvals and reviews.
- Human and non-human identity governance
- Lifecycle and ownership
- Access requests and approvals
- Roles and authority
- Reviews and certification
- Runtime authorization and proof
01Integrate where appropriate
IntentGate consumes trusted identity and access context from existing enterprise systems.
02Govern natively when required
IntentGate can provide native identity governance for humans, NHIs and AI agents when those capabilities are licensed.
03Agent-native governance
Every agent has a clear purpose, an accountable owner, defined tools and limits, and controlled delegation.
04Runtime enforcement
IntentGate evaluates and enforces what the agent is actually trying to do before anything is executed.
Familiar disciplines, agent-native controls
Extend identity governance to autonomous agents.
You do not need to redesign your entire operating model. IntentGate brings familiar governance practices to AI agents and adds the runtime control needed to check what those agents do in real time.

Identity lifecycle (JML)
Joiner, Mover, Leaver synced from HRIS / SCIM for employees.
Dual-track lifecycle. Human owner status cascades to agent authority so a leaver or role change suspends the agent's authority, not just the person's login.
Access request & provisioning
Self-service catalog, approval chains and account provisioning.
Authority provisioning. Scoped grants provision purpose, tools, actions, spend limits, conditions and approval requirements to autonomous agents.
Access certification (UAR)
Periodic manager review of user application entitlements.
Agent authority recertification. Review business purpose, owner, tools, actions, monetary limits and observed runtime execution.
Role & entitlement management
Business roles, application roles, role mining and entitlement recommendations.
Reusable authority models. Apply standardized authority patterns to tools, functions, spend boundaries and operating conditions.
Separation of duties (SoD)
Prevents conflicting role or entitlement assignments.
Action-level SoD. Conflicting autonomous actions can be blocked or routed to multi-party approval at execution time.
Account reconciliation
Compare target-system state with expected human account state.
Authority reconciliation. Compare authorized grants with actual permissions and observed runtime behavior to surface drift and excess authority.
Privileged access (PAM / JIT)
Temporary privileged access and credential elevation.
Runtime step-up. Pause the action, route approval, and grant narrowly scoped, time-bound authority only for the requested operation.
Audit & reporting
Access logs, certifications and compliance reports.
Continuous Proof. Signed decision evidence links authority, policy, runtime decision and execution outcome with zero vendor telemetry.
Runtime action authorization
Identity governance establishes standing access, then stops before execution.
The missing runtime authority layer. Every consequential action is checked against intent, authority, parameters, limits and context before execution.
Business Authority Governance
Give every AI agent clear authority.
Business Authority Governance makes every AI agent accountable. It records why the agent exists, who owns it, what it may do and where its limits begin.
Agent identity & ownership
Register each agent, assign a responsible owner and record why the agent exists. This prevents authority from being left without accountability.
Authority modeling
Define what an agent may do, which tools it may use and the conditions that must be met before it can act.
Monetary governance
Set spending limits, value thresholds and other business boundaries as part of the agent's authority.
Approvals & workflows
Send new authority, changes and sensitive actions to the right people for approval.
Recertification campaigns
Review why the agent exists, who owns it, what it can use and how it has behaved. Keep a complete record of every decision.
Runtime-informed least authority
Use real execution evidence to find permissions the agent does not use and reduce its authority to what the business actually needs.
Delegation governance
Control which agents may pass work to other agents and make sure they never delegate more authority than they received.
Lifecycle automation
Transfer, suspend or remove authority when the agent's purpose, owner or business context changes.
Runtime Authorization & Protection
Check every action before it happens.
Approved Business Authority activates as a bounded, time-limited IntentGrant — the runtime authority IntentGate enforces. IntentGate sits in the action path and makes the final decision before an AI agent can change data, call a tool or affect an enterprise system.
Agent-to-tool authorization
Authorize the exact tool, function and operation the agent wants to use. A connection to a tool does not become permission to do everything.
Agent-to-agent authorization
Keep track of which agent started the request, why the work was delegated and how much authority is available throughout the chain.
Tool-schema sanitization
Inspect tool definitions before they reach the agent and block hidden instructions, prompt injection and misleading descriptions.
Runtime limits
Limit how often an agent may act, how much it may spend, which resources it may use and how far an action may go.
Human step-up
Pause sensitive actions and require verified human approval before the credentials needed to continue are released.
Policy evaluation
Combine policy rules, business context and the meaning of the requested action to reach a clear runtime decision.
Kill switch & containment
Remove runtime authority immediately and stop a compromised or runaway agent before it can continue.
Execution evidence
Create signed evidence that connects the agent's authority, requested action, policy decision and execution result. Runtime data stays inside the customer environment.
Continuous Authority Spine
One authority model from governance to execution.
IntentGate carries approved Business Authority into bounded runtime authority, enforces it when an action occurs, and preserves evidence of what was authorized and what actually executed.
Intent Core
Shared context, policy, decision and evidence services across the authority lifecycle.
