Support for Non-Human Identities

Teams running modern systems know the truth—most connections aren’t humans. Services talk to services. Bots trigger workflows. Pipelines deploy code without a person touching a keyboard. Yet too many platforms still treat identity as something tied to a single user account.

A Non-Human Identities Feature Request changes that. It demands first-class treatment for API keys, machine agents, service accounts, and automation scripts. It means permissions and access control designed for machines from the start, not retrofitted later. By treating these entities as primary citizens, you remove the brittle hacks: shared “bot” user accounts, hidden credentials buried in scripts, manual rotation that never actually happens.

Implementing a Non-Human Identities Feature Request is more than adding a new object type to a database. It requires an identity model that separates authentication and authorization cleanly. It must allow fine-grained, least-privilege access. It must integrate with secrets management, rotation policies, audit trails, and monitoring. It should work across environments—local dev, staging, production—without changing how code authenticates.

Security improves because every token or key is tied to a specific, named non-human identity. You can revoke access for one pipeline without touching the rest. Compliance becomes easier—auditors can see who (or what) performed every action. Scalability increases because automation can run without human bottlenecks.

This is why demand for Non-Human Identities Feature Requests is rising across development teams, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise security. If your platform doesn’t support it, your users will either hack it in or move on.

See this done right. Deploy a system with native non-human identities on hoop.dev and watch it go live in minutes.
