Willow Identity & Access

Willow Identity & Access is an identity and access management layer designed specifically for AI agents operating within enterprise environments. It addresses the gap left by traditional IAM systems (such as Active Directory or Okta), which were not built to manage autonomous, non-human, multi-tool AI agents. How it works: - Each AI agent inherits identity from a real employee through the organization's existing Identity Provider (IdP), rather than using service accounts, shared credentials, or ad-hoc OAuth tokens. - Permissions flow from the human operator's existing groups, roles, and entitlements down to the agent at runtime. - No new directory infrastructure is required; the system integrates with existing IdP setups. Core capabilities: - Zero-trust authentication: Every agent interaction is authenticated at runtime with no persistent sessions or assumed trust. - Agent identity primitives: Each agent is assigned a governed, scoped, time-bound credential tied to a real user, with individual provisioning, suspension, and auditing. - Role-based access control (RBAC): Agents inherit only the permissions their human operator holds — least privilege enforced at the action level. - SCIM provisioning: Agent access updates automatically when an employee joins, changes roles, or offboards, preventing orphaned credentials. - SSO integration: Supports Okta, Entra ID, and JumpCloud via OIDC, OAuth2, SAML, and JWT. - Auto-provisioning and deprovisioning: Agent access is revoked immediately when an employee offboards. - App-aware permissions: Enforces permissions at the action level within connected applications (e.g., read, create, reassign, or delete tickets in Jira), not just at the connection level. Compliance: - All identity events are logged, timestamped, and immutable, with authentication attempts, permission checks, access grants, and denials all captured and exportable.
