//Authorization Management

The authorization engine forthe agentic enterprise.

Zero-trust security across all AI, API, and event traffic, with catalog-aware policies decided inside every gateway.

  • Policy

    Authorization as policy, not code

    Agents discover tools on the fly, so static access logic can't scale. Policies replace it.

  • Credentials

    No more shared API keys

    Every agent call decided on who it is and what it may do, with a per-user audit trail.

  • Lineage

    Trace every agent's actions

    Delegations and tool calls correlated with the identities and decisions behind them.

//Overview

What is authorization management for AI agents?

Authorization management decides who or what may do which action on which resource. For AI agents it means fine-grained, policy-based decisions on every model, tool, API and event call, instead of shared API keys.

DataObserve Sense provides a zero-trust authorization engine with an entity model, catalog-aware policies, risk-free validation before rollout and microsecond-scale enforcement inside every gateway, with lineage for each agent action.

//How it works

From scattered access logic toone zero-trust layer.

Step 1

Define your entity model

Agents, tools, APIs, and events in one typed model, extendable to your own resources.

//The zero-trust substrate

The shared zero-trust substrate your gateways were missing

  • True zero trust

    No access unless explicitly permitted.

  • Unified governance

    One policy model across AI, API, and event gateways.

  • Operational efficiency

    Policies bound to real assets stay in sync.

  • Microsecond-scale performance

    Built for high-frequency agent tool calls.

//Use cases

Authorization Management: use cases

  • Replacing shared keys

    Give each agent and user its own scoped permissions.

  • Fine-grained access

    Decide access by resource, attribute and context, not just role.

  • Policy testing

    Validate a policy change against real requests before enforcing it.

  • Consistent enforcement

    Apply the same policies across AI, API and event gateways.

//FAQs

Authorization Management: questions teams ask

  • What is zero-trust authorization?

    Zero-trust authorization checks every request against policy, regardless of where it comes from, rather than trusting anything inside the network.

  • What is policy as code for authorization?

    Access rules are written as versioned policies rather than application code, so they can be reviewed, tested and changed without redeploying services.

  • Does authorization slow down requests?

    Decisions are made inside the gateway at microsecond scale, so enforcement adds very little latency.

  • What is catalog-aware policy?

    Policies refer to the real assets in the catalog, such as specific tools, APIs and topics, so they stay accurate as the estate changes.
