Security and permissions
Permission cards, modes, allowlists, enterprise policies, credentials, and audit.

Permission cards
Digital workers request approval before sensitive actions:
- Running commands
- Editing files
- Accessing locations outside the workspace
- Calling external systems
The card shows the exact command, path, or target. Choose allow once, always allow, or deny.
Permission modes
- Ask every time: every sensitive action prompts.
- Allow by default: execute within the allowed scope; suitable for controlled environments.
- Enterprise policy: pushed by administrators and takes precedence over personal settings.
In enterprise policy, deny rejects without a prompt, ask prompts, and allow proceeds.
Allowlists
Add commands, tools, or folders to an allowlist to reduce repeated prompts. An allowlist only affects matching actions; it does not expand the workspace.
Enterprise security policies
Administrators can:
- Configure command-level policies by role and directory.
- Block high-risk commands (such as
rm -rfor bulk deletes). - Restrict accessible folders and external systems.
- Push policies to clients centrally.
Restart the local service after a policy change for it to take full effect.
Credentials stay local
Passwords and keys are encrypted on the machine; models only receive one-time handles. When a digital worker signs in to a website, database, or CLI, the credential broker injects the secret instead of handing plaintext to the model.
Unattended tasks require explicit authorization; without it they return input-required and never prompt.
Audit
Tasks, verification, permissions, credential use, and external calls are logged. Administrators can inspect them by user, time, or task.
Recommendations
- Do not paste plaintext passwords into tasks.
- Keep only the files needed for the current project in the workspace.
- Review allowlists and unattended grants regularly.
- Keep human confirmation for high-risk actions.
- Revoke accounts and grants when someone leaves or changes roles.
