per agent access

Per agent access in Windows 11 refers to Microsoft's new policy requiring AI agents to request explicit user permission before reading or acting on files in personal folders like Desktop, Documents, and Downloads. This replaces blanket file access with a consent model where users can choose Allow once, Always allow, or Deny for each agent. The change is part of Windows 11's evolution into an agentic platform, balancing AI automation with user privacy and control. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover the technical implementation, security implications, and user experience of this per-agent consent and isolation approach.
