AI Agents for IAM

About this video

This SkillsBuild video course looks at how AI agents can help with identity work, such as triaging access tickets or summarising sign-in logs. It also treats the agents themselves as identities that need their own access controls. The focus throughout is safety, with a person approving anything that changes access.

What you'll learn

• Where AI agents can help in IAM, and where they shouldn't act alone
• Giving an agent its own identity with narrowly scoped permissions
• Separating read-only actions from changes that need human approval
• Connecting an agent to identity tools through APIs safely
• Risks such as prompt injection, over-broad permissions and leaked tokens
• Logging and auditing what an agent did and why
• Treating agents as non-human identities in access reviews

What's included

• Build-along demos of a small identity helper agent in a test environment
• Examples of guardrails and approval steps in action
• Discussion of what can go wrong and how to spot it
• A small portfolio project with a written risk assessment

Who it's for

• IAM engineers curious about using AI in their work
• Security teams asked to approve AI tools that touch identity data
• Analysts who want to speed up ticket triage and log review
• Anyone responsible for governing non-human identities

By the end, you'll understand how to use an AI agent for identity tasks and which controls keep it safe.
