Agents, skills, and schedules each have their own role-based access control (RBAC), layered on top of your organization roles and groups. Access is granted per object — you can share a single agent or skill with specific people or groups without giving them access to everything. Don’t confuse this with tool permissions: RBAC controls who can use and edit an agent, skill, or schedule; tool permissions control what an agent itself is allowed to do once it runs.

​
Agents

Creating a new agent requires the organization-level app-creation permission (Builder role or higher), the same permission used to create apps.

​
Sharing

The agent’s owner or an Admin can grant access to:
  • Individuals — invite users by email.
  • Groups — grant access to an entire team at once (see Groups).

​
Skills

Skills use the same three roles, so authorship can be separated from use: Deleting a skill is blocked while it’s still attached to any agent — detach it everywhere first.

​
Schedules

Schedules inherit access from their agent: if you can use the agent, you can see and use its schedules. Beyond that:
  • The schedule’s creator can share it with other users and groups, granting edit access — collaborators can view and edit it in the Build-with-Major editor, but can’t re-share it.
  • Every run — scheduled or “run now” — executes as the creator, using their credentials.
A schedule can’t be shared if its agent uses per-user connectors. Because the schedule always runs as the creator’s identity, sharing it would let a collaborator trigger runs as the creator (and per-user credentials wouldn’t be the collaborator’s). Sharing is blocked outright in this case, only the creator can run it, and a shared schedule can’t be repointed onto a per-user agent to get around it.

​
Shared agents and identity

When an agent is shared and someone other than its author runs it, Major distinguishes two identities:
  • The author/deployer — the subject of RBAC checks and the source of shared credentials.
  • The runner — the person who started the run, used for any per-user OAuth connectors.
This means a shared agent uses shared connectors via the author’s credentials, but per-user connectors act as whoever is running it — so each person only ever touches data they’re entitled to.

​
App triggers

For an app to trigger an agent, the agent must be explicitly attached to that app. Attaching requires edit access to both the app and the agent — it’s a deliberate grant, never inferred from your code.
