Introduction
Actera is an authorization and control layer for AI agents. It evaluates an intended action before execution and returns one of three effects:
- Allow: the integration may continue.
- Require approval: the action must pause until an authorized person approves or rejects it.
- Block: the integration must not perform the action.
Actera sits at the point where your trusted application can still stop an action. Your application supplies the agent identity, action, and relevant context. Actera applies the policies assigned to that agent and records an authoritative decision for real enforcement requests.
Who Actera serves
Section titled “Who Actera serves”Platform and security teams use Actera to define reusable controls. Application teams integrate authorization at action boundaries. Operations teams inspect decisions, approvals, and reported follow-up activity without reconstructing an outcome from logs spread across systems.
