Sponsor
Accountable executive or manager for an agent's purpose, scope, and renewal decisions. Owns delegation limits and post-incident review participation.
Every Auctra agent requires a sponsor at registration. Reassign sponsors promptly on org changes.
Delegator and reviewer
Delegators grant authority within policy—often team leads. Reviewers approve individual actions exceeding automated limits.
Roles may overlap in startups but must separate in enterprise for SOX-style controls. Auctra audit captures both identities distinctly.
Operator and auditor
Operators run agents and respond to blocks; they do not unilaterally expand authority. Auditors sample accountability reports and verify hash chains on Business.
Finance operators reconcile reports to GL. Security auditors hunt shadow agents and missing evaluateAction paths.
RACI for rollouts
Document RACI before enterprise-wide mandate. Platform engineering maintains integration templates; business units own sponsors.
Auctra ties sponsors, expiring delegations, and pre-action evaluation into one accountability chain your security and finance teams can audit.
Key takeaways
- Authority is enforced before side effects — use Agents registry and evaluateAction together.
- Every production agent needs a named sponsor and bounded delegation visible in the console.
- Blocked and approval-required outcomes are evidence, not failures — review them in Agents registry.
