Agents in an Organization
This page explains a foundational idea: agents belong to the organization, not to a person. Understanding this clears up most questions about access, billing, and what happens when someone leaves.
Agents are owned by the organization
When anyone in your organization creates an agent, that agent belongs to the organization — not to the individual who made it.
This has practical consequences:
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| The Builder who created an agent leaves the organization | The agent stays. It was never personally theirs. |
| Credit is spent by the agent | It comes from the organization's balance, not the creator's. |
| You switch to another organization | You no longer see that agent — it lives in its own organization. |
| An Owner/Admin wants to manage any agent | They can, because the organization owns all of its agents. |
Mental model: the organization is the company; agents are company assets. People come and go, but the assets remain with the company.
Who can see and manage an agent
| Role | Access to agents |
|---|---|
| Owner / Admin | Implicit access to every agent in the organization. |
| Builder | Can build/edit only the agents they are assigned to (as a contributor). |
| Member | Can use only the agents they are assigned to. |
Assigning a Builder to a specific agent is done through contributors — covered next.
Where to manage agents
Open your organization and go to the Agents tab.
Open the Organization page → click your organization → Agents tab.
Each agent shows as a card (avatar, name, code, mission). From a card, Owners/Admins can open the tools below.
