Delegated Authority for Agent Teams
Assign limited operational roles to team members without transferring the controller’s full ownership or treasury authority.
In this guide
Practical outcomes
- Define delegated roles
- Limit each role
- Review delegation expiry
How this works in practice
Assign limited operational roles to team members without transferring the controller’s full ownership or treasury authority.
A controlled agent separates the controller from the runtime. The controller owns the agent identity and defines policy, while a smart wallet, permission rules, quotas, relayer and scheduler constrain what the runtime can actually execute.
Implementation sequence
Turn the topic into a controlled implementation rather than a one-off transaction. Each step below should leave evidence a teammate, user or auditor can independently review.
- 01. Define delegated roles. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
- 02. Limit each role. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
- 03. Review delegation expiry. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
Evidence to retain
Record the .rama identity, controller, wallet, policy version, approval event, task identifier and resulting transaction hash. This makes a decision traceable without giving the agent unrestricted custody.
Control point
Start with small allocations, explicit recipient and contract allowlists, bounded session keys and a tested pause path. An automated workflow must never be the only place where authority or recovery knowledge exists.
