## About Identity {#identity-rn__identity-rn-highlights}

[Yokohama Patch 11](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/o~Ty6nl6ETxZAE_DIVoJJw "The Yokohama Patch 11 release contains important problem fixes.")

* Configure AI Agents or AI users by selecting the <kbd class="ph userinput">AI</kbd> option from the Identity drop-down menu.
* Use the <kbd class="ph userinput">ai_user_admin</kbd> role for creating, editing, and role management of AI users. Using the role you can view, create, edit, assign roles to, and delete users with the identity type as <kbd class="ph userinput">AI</kbd>.
* Use role masking for AI agents and agentic workflows to limit the inherited roles during tool execution, verifying that AI agents run with restricted privileges, minimizing potential security risks and helping prevent unintended actions. To learn more, see [Role masking in Now Assist AI agents](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aia-role-masking&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

[Yokohama Patch 10](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SDBJsFWBor16OZ4hsKA_gg "The Yokohama Patch 10 release contains important problem fixes.")

* Use Federated ID to uniquely identify roles across multiple instances. Federated ID provides a unique identifier for roles, making it easier to manage and track them across instances. To know more, see [Exploring Federated ID](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=federated-id&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).
