IDENTITY & ACCESS

Every agent needs an identity.
Now they have one.

On-prem had Active Directory. SaaS had Okta. AI agents have nothing. Willow is the identity and access layer the AI agent frontier has been missing.

The Problem Today

Every agent in your systems right now is doing it wrong.

Personal API keys tied to employee accounts. Shared service accounts over-permissioned by default. Ad-hoc OAuth tokens with no central revocation. None of these were built for autonomous, multi-tool, non-human workers.

How It Works

Every agent inherits identity from a real employee through your existing IdP. Not a service account. A real human identity, groups, roles, permissions all flowing through to every action.

Employee authenticates
Agent inherits identity
Permissions scoped to role
Right tools and skills served
No new directory. No rip and replace.

Features

Zero-Trust
Authentication

Every agent interaction authenticated at runtime. No persistent sessions. No assumed trust. Every time.

Agent Identity
Primitives

Each agent receives a governed credential, scoped, time-bound, tied to a real user. Provision, suspend, and audit agents individually.

Role-Based Access
Control

Agents inherit exactly what their operator is entitled to. Nothing more.

SCIM Provisioning

Employee joins, changes roles, or offboards, agent access updates automatically. No orphaned credentials.

SSO Integration

Native Okta, Entra ID, and JumpCloud via OIDC, OAuth2, SAML, and JWT. Same infrastructure your org already trusts.

Auto-Provisioning & Deprovisioning

Employee offboards, agents lose access immediately. No stale credentials. No lingering connections.

App-Aware Permissions

Most identity systems answer: can this user access this tool? Willow answers: what can this agent actually do inside it? Not "can this agent connect to Jira",  but can it read tickets, create tickets, reassign them, delete them, across which projects? Permissions at the action level. Least privilege enforced at execution.
