Agent Identity
"every agent has a name and an owner"
REPLACE REUSABLE PATTERN
Today, no one can say how many agents are running — or whose they are.
As agents multiply, most organisations hold no register of what's operating in their name. Access is borrowed from human accounts, ownership is informal, and the question "whose agent is that?" has no reliable answer. That was tolerable with one pilot; it isn't at fleet scale.
This is the capability that gives every agent a distinct identity: a name, a purpose, a permission set and an accountable human owner — recorded in your identity system, not a spreadsheet. It's the register of your digital workforce. And it's the precondition for the stop: you can only halt an agent by name if every agent has one.
What it does for your function
Every agent named and registered — a live register of your digital workforce, held in your identity system.
Own credentials, least-privilege access — no agent borrows a person's account or permissions.
An accountable human owner for every agent — the question "whose is that?" always has an answer.
HOW IT STAYS BOUNDED
No identity, no access — an unregistered agent cannot operate.
Identity isn't documentation; it's enforcement. An agent without a registered name, owner and permission set has nothing to run on.
Where this pattern fits
Anywhere agents operate in your organisation's name — the register is one; what it registers grows.
First deployment
Wave 1 starts with the register: every agent named, scoped and owned before it runs.
Multi-agent functions
As one agent becomes many, the register keeps count, purpose and owner current.
Shared-tenant environments
Agents from different functions in one Microsoft tenant — each identity scoped to its own reach.
Partner-built agents
Agents built by a partner still land in your register, under your owner, on your terms.
Audit & assurance
Every logged action traces to a named agent and its accountable owner — no anonymous activity.
What we guarantee
The promises the build must hold — on the record, by design.
Named, not anonymous
No agent operates without a registered identity, purpose and owner.
Least privilege
Each agent holds its own credentials, scoped to its task — never a person's.
Owner on record
A named human is accountable for every agent — and the record says who.
Register stays true
Retired agents lose access on retirement — the register reflects what's actually running.
