AI Agent Identity and Permission Challenges: How Uber and Auth0 Are Rethinking Access Control
Uber recently described an internal architecture for propagating identity across multi-agent AI workflows. The design aims to perserve user context, agent provenance, and scoped access as agents delegate work and call internal tools. The case study aligns with Auth0’s view that AI agents need permissions based on delegated authority, scoped credentials, and explicit human approval boundaries.

Aditya Kumarakrishnan explains how to move past the "amnesia phase" of AI.
