agent owner

In short: An agent owner is the named person accountable for an AI agent's access and behaviour. The owner answers for what the agent can reach, approves changes to its permissions and is contacted when it misbehaves. Every agent should have exactly one owner on record.

Where does it show up in practice?

Silverfort binds each agent to a human owner, and Okta lets you assign human owners to agents.
