API-first Automation

Anchor exposes the same operating model to automation that administrators see in the UI.

  • Authenticate and use scoped bearer tokens.
  • List resources, accounts, scopes, and policies.
  • Create or update resources and policy bindings.
  • Trigger verification, rotation, and reconciliation workflows.
  • Read logs and audit events.
  • Pull posture signals and rating-style summaries where available.

PAM workflows become slow when the UI is the only complete interface. Anchor keeps core workflows API-visible so teams can integrate privileged access controls into onboarding, inventory management, access review, and operational runbooks.

Use automation identities with narrow permissions. Preserve stable identifiers and human-readable names so API-created objects remain reviewable in the UI.
