Authentication & identity tools

MonoCloud is one identity layer for your customers, your APIs, and your agents. Most tools stop at a login box. We go past login into authorization and accountability: decide exactly what every user, service, and AI agent can access, prove what it did, and revoke it in an instant. Fine-grained Cedar authorization, passkeys and SSO, API protection, M2M, and mTLS with certificate-bound trust, all on one platform. Startups get the full platform free for one year.

Congrats on the launch identity is one of those problems that only looks simple until you have to build it yourself Really Building authentication and identity is never as straightforward as it seems Excited to see products taking a fresh approach here Congratulations to the team and hope you have a fantastic launch

@petrkovacik Thanks Petr! Agreed, once agents started acting for users the split between "user auth" and "machine auth" stopped making sense. Curious how you're handling it at Macaly, are the apps people build getting agent access into their stack yet?

What breaks when your first enterprise customer arrives?

you're moving fast, you've shipped login, it works, users are in. and then an enterprise prospect shows up and the first thing they ask is 'do you support SSO?' and suddenly the thing you built in a weekend is blocking a six-figure deal.

but SSO is usually just the first question. after that comes the security questionnaire. then someone asks about audit logs. then their IT team wants to know how they'll provision and deprovision users at scale. then legal asks about data residency.

If an AI agent is acting for you, should it get all of your permissions?

A user gives an agent a task. Maybe it needs to read invoices, update a CRM record, check an internal dashboard, or call a few APIs on their behalf. The easy model is to let the agent act with whatever access the user already has.

But I am not sure that makes sense once the user has a lot of authority. If I can delete a workspace, change billing, export customer data, or invite an admin, does an agent helping me with one task need access to all of that too Giving the agent its own identity and narrower permissions sounds safer. But then another question comes up: how narrow can those permissions be before the agent keeps hitting boundaries halfway through the task?

So I am curious how teams building agents are thinking about this today.

Does the agent inherit the user s authority? Does it get its own identity with access only to specific APIs or actions? Or are you handling this another way? And where do you draw the line between the user is allowed to do this and the agent is allowed to do this for the user ?

⛔ Stop building your auth in-house

I talk to founders every week and the pattern repeats. The team needs login, someone says "how hard can a login form be," and two quarters later they are maintaining an identity system nobody wanted to own and the actual roadmap is on fire.

The problem is that auth looks like one feature but it is actually five products stacked on top of each other:

Every sign-in method your users expect (passkeys alone took our team over 800 engineering hours to get production ready)
Session management that survives a real security review, which arrives with 40 questions you have not thought about
Token infrastructure, issuance, rotation, revocation, the part that pages someone at 2am
Permissions, because plain roles stop working the moment your product grows
And now identity for AI agents acting on behalf of your users, which no in-house auth from two years ago was designed for

Each of these is somebody's entire company. Your team will build all five as a side quest, and then maintain them forever.
