Task-Bound Governance

← Back to Glossary
By NHI Mgmt Group Updated June 7, 2026 Domain: Governance, Ownership & Risk

Task-bound governance limits access, approval, and oversight to a specific unit of work rather than to a long-lived account or role. For agents, that means permissions should exist only for the execution window and should be revocable when the task completes, because the actor can perform work continuously and at machine speed.
