   Enterprise AI agents are hitting a permission wall, forcing companies to rebuild systems

   Companies deploying AI agents (software that can autonomously make decisions and take actions) are discovering that the biggest bottleneck isn't AI performance, but figuring out what these agents are allowed to access and modify in corporate systems. Workday and other enterprise software companies are now building governance layers to control AI agent permissions and ensure security protocols are followed.

   Businesses using AI automation tools may experience delays or need to upgrade their systems to ensure AI agents don't accidentally access sensitive data or make unauthorized changes.
