Use Cases / Authorization

Apply centralized, attribute-based policy to every AI tool connection.

Define granular policy once, enforce it everywhere, and maintain continuous control as AI adoption scales.

Key Capabilities
  • Attribute-based authorization (Cedar)
  • Identity-aware access controls
  • Context-aware enforcement (user, group, device, app)
  • Fine-grained policy definitions

Establish precise, attribute-based access rules.

Natoma uses Cedar-powered authorization to define who can access which tools and under what conditions.

Policies account for identity, group membership, device posture, application context, and other runtime attributes.

Move beyond static role assignments to dynamic, context-aware enforcement.

Key Capabilities
  • Attribute-based authorization (Cedar)
  • Identity-aware access controls
  • Context-aware enforcement (user, group, device, app)
  • Fine-grained policy definitions

Enforce policy across all AI clients and agents.

All tool access routes through a single Natoma endpoint with centralized policy evaluation.

Maintain consistent control across cloud, desktop, and on-prem environments without fragmented enforcement.

Key Capabilities
  • One managed endpoint for all enabled connections
  • Centralized policy evaluation
  • Support for internal and third-party enterprise tools
  • Managed credentials or BYO credentials

Integrate with your existing identity infrastructure.

Natoma integrates with enterprise SSO and directory systems so AI tool access matches real organizational structures.

Provision and deprovision consistently across AI-enabled workflows.

Key Capabilities
  • SSO integration
  • SCIM provisioning
  • Identity-synchronized access controls
  • Organization-wide rollout support

Maintain verifiable oversight of every authorization decision.

Frequently-Asked Questions

How is Natoma authorization different from a traditional API gateway?
Natoma evaluates every AI tool call with identity and context, not just network authentication. Policies account for who the user is, which client or agent is acting, and whether that call should be allowed at that moment.
Can policies vary by user, device, and application context?
Yes. Cedar policies support attribute-based decisions across user identity, group membership, device posture, and client application context.
Does Natoma support existing enterprise identity providers?
Yes. Natoma integrates with enterprise SSO and directory systems, including SCIM provisioning, so access stays synchronized with your current identity lifecycle.
Can we audit blocked versus allowed tool calls?
Yes. Natoma records both successful and denied authorization decisions so teams can verify policy behavior and demonstrate control effectiveness.

Authorization built for enterprise AI.

As AI clients and agents become core operational systems, authorization must be deliberate, centralized, and auditable. Natoma delivers enterprise-grade control across every tool, connection, and workflow.
