Comparison
Okta is the identity platform for humans. Agentic Fabriq is the identity and permissioning layer for AI agents. They solve different problems and most teams use them together.
| Capability | Okta | Agentic Fabriq |
|---|---|---|
| Primary subject of identity | Humans and long-lived service accounts | AI agents, bound to the user who deployed them |
| Per-agent identity | Not modeled — agents share service accounts | Every agent gets a unique, revocable identity |
| Action-level scopes | App-level OAuth scopes only | Per-tool, per-action scopes evaluated on every call |
| Agent-to-agent delegation | Not supported | Native — identity and scopes propagate through chains |
| MCP server authentication | Not supported out of the box | First-class support for MCP authentication and scope checks |
| Tool-call audit trail | Login and admin event logs | Every agent action: agent, user, tool, input, output, outcome |
| Revocation latency | Minutes to hours (token TTL) | Immediate — broker checks every call against current policy |
| Works alongside Okta | — | Yes — Okta is the upstream identity source |
No. Agentic Fabriq sits on top of Okta. Okta remains the source of truth for human identity. Fabriq adds the layer Okta does not provide: per-agent identity, action-level scopes, agent-to-agent delegation, MCP authentication, and a complete audit trail of agent actions.
Okta was built for humans logging into apps and for service accounts calling APIs. AI agents are neither. They act autonomously, chain actions across tools, pass context to other agents, and operate on behalf of users. Okta has no primitive for per-agent identity, no per-action authorization, and no audit trail that ties agent actions back to the user who deployed them.
For AI agents specifically, Agentic Fabriq is purpose-built. It provides per-agent identity, least-privilege access to tools and data, real-time policy enforcement on every action, full audit logs, and one-click revocation — capabilities Okta does not offer. Fabriq integrates with Okta rather than replacing it, so existing human IAM stays intact.
