    HOW IT WORKS

    Inside Access & Operations.

    Discover access

    Review the identities, owners and provider permissions collected for the connected environment.

    Review the change

    Trace temporary access and credential changes from request to provider confirmation.

    Handle uncertainty

    Inspect the original operation, outstanding exposure and permitted recovery steps in one workspace.

    CAPABILITIES

    What you can do.

    Agent inventory

    Bring discovered machine accounts and agents into an inventory with their source, owner and last observation.

    Effective access

    Inspect what a connected provider reports about an identity’s access. Separate requested changes from permissions observed at the provider.

    Temporary access

    Review the requested scope and expiry of an access grant and check whether the provider applied or removed it.

    Credential rotation

    Track the replacement credential through validation, cutover and retirement of the previous credential.

    Containment and recovery

    Restrict future actions while an operator investigates an existing operation. Trace outstanding exposure and the next permitted recovery step.

    QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

    Questions about Access & Operations

    How can operators see what an AI agent can access?

    Start with the identity the agent uses at each connected provider. Record its owner, effective permissions and last observation. Steelmatter’s access review distinguishes the change an operator requested from the grant the provider actually reports.

    What should an operator check when temporary agent access expires?

    Compare the request time with the approved access window, then check the provider for revocation. The window tells you when the agent was allowed to act. The provider observation tells you whether external access was removed.
