Self-service with control

# Let the team move. Keep the boundaries clear.

Give developers and agents useful access while retaining ownership of permissions, configuration and changes.

[Start with Ankra](https://platform.ankra.app/auth/signup)  [Read the guide](https://docs.ankra.ai/guides/roles-and-access)

For platform teams, engineering leaders and security teams

The work to take off your team

## Self-service works when people know what they can do and how changes reach production.

Ankra combines organisation roles, cluster grants, scoped service tokens and agent tool permissions with reviewable configuration and operational records. Your team chooses the autonomy it permits.

With Ankra

### A shared operating platform with explicit responsibility.

Define the roles  Scope automation  Set the change policy  Follow and improve

A practical path

## How this works with Ankra.

1. 01

  ### Define the roles

  Grant the organisation and cluster permissions appropriate for each team.
2. 02

  ### Scope automation

  Create service tokens and agent tool grants for the work each integration needs.
3. 03

  ### Set the change policy

  Choose agent autonomy, review gated proposals and use your repository’s review process.
4. 04

  ### Follow and improve

  Inspect operations, agent runs and security findings as the platform evolves.

The platform behind the workflow

## The pieces, already connected.

[### Roles & scoped access Set organisation roles, cluster grants, service-token scopes and individual tools available to each agent role.](https://ankra.ai/features#access)

[### Agent autonomy & approvals Choose observation, proposals or permitted autonomous actions. Review gated changes and follow what agents executed.](https://ankra.ai/features#approvals)

[### Security Center See vulnerabilities across the fleet and prioritise findings using exploitation evidence, affected workloads and fixed versions.](https://ankra.ai/features#security)

[Operate & protect ### An AI platform engineer Agents that read live cluster state, fix what breaks and wait for your approval. Use Ankra's AI team, or connect Claude, Cursor or your own agent over MCP.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/ai-platform-engineer)

[Operate & protect ### Investigate production incidents Give your team and its agents the logs, events and resource state needed to investigate a running application.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/incident-response)

[Build & ship ### Local development to production Move from a development cluster to staging and production with reusable configuration and explicit environment inputs.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/local-dev-to-production)
