NHI

A non-human identity (NHI) — any digital identity that is not a person, such as a service account, machine credential, secret, OAuth app, bot, certificate, API key, webhook, or CI/CD identity. NHIs are typically used by software, automation, or workloads to access systems and services.

aiPlatform	string	The AI platform or vendor this NHI belongs to (e.g. 'openai', 'anthropic', 'google-vertex'). Open string — new platforms appear constantly.
isAi	boolean	Whether this NHI is associated with an AI agent, model, or AI-powered workload.
nhiOwnerStatus	string	Ownership state used by governance triage workflows.	enum: assigned, unassigned, orphaned
nhiType	string	The category of non-human identity.	enum: service_account, credential, secret, oauth_app, bot, certificate, api_key, webhook, ci_cd_identity, service_linked_role, service_role, workload_identity, ci_cd_role, cross_account_role, sso_role, federated_role, iam_role
owner	string	Identifier of the human or team responsible for this NHI (e.g. email, team handle, employee ID). Free-form string — owner-resolution conventions are integration-specific.

Property	Type	Description	Specifications
_class *	string | array of strings	One or more classes conforming to a standard, abstract security data model. For example, an EC2 instance will have '_class':'Host'.

_type *	string	The type of object, typically reflecting the vendor and resource type. For example, 'aws_iam_user'. In some cases, a system knows about a type of entity that other systems know about, such as 'user_endpoint' or 'cve'.	minLength: 3
displayName *	string	Display name, e.g. a person's preferred name or an AWS account alias
name *	string	Name of this entity
active	boolean	Indicates if this entity is currently active.
classification	string | null	The sensitivity of the data; should match company data classification scheme Examples: critical, confidential, internal, public
complianceStatus	number	The compliance status of the entity, as a percentage of compliancy.	minimum: 0, maximum: 1
createdBy	string	The source/principal/user that created the entity
createdOn	number	The timestamp (in milliseconds since epoch) when the entity was created at the source. This is different than _createdOn which is the timestamp the entity was first ingested into JupiterOne.	Format: date-time

deletedBy	string	The source/principal/user that deleted the entity
deletedOn	number	The timestamp (in milliseconds since epoch) when the entity was deleted at the source.	Format: date-time
description	string	An extended description of this entity.
discoveredBy	string	The source/principal/user that discovered the entity
discoveredOn	number	The timestamp (in milliseconds since epoch) when the entity was discovered.	Format: date-time
expiresOn	number	If the entity is a temporary resource, optionally set the expiration date. For example, the expiration date of an SSL cert.	Format: date-time
id	string | array	Identifiers of this entity assigned by the providers. Values are expected to be unique within the provider scope.
notes	array of strings	User provided notes about this entity
public	boolean	Indicates if this is a public-facing resource (e.g. a public IP or public DNS record) or if the entity is publicly accessible. Default is false.
risk	integer	The risk level of this entity, on a scale between 1-10.	minimum: 1, maximum: 10
status	string	Status of this entity set by the external source system or by a user, e.g. Active, Inactive, Decommissioned Examples: active, inactive, suspended, terminated, open, closed, pending, unknown, other
summary	string	A summary / short description of this entity.
tags	array of strings	An array of unnamed tags
temporary	boolean	Indicates if this node is a temporary resource, such as a lambda instance or an EC2 instance started by ECS.
trust	integer	The trust level of this entity, on a scale between 1-10.	minimum: 1, maximum: 10
trusted	boolean	Indicates if this is a trusted resource. For example, a trusted Network, Host, Device, Application, Person, User, or Vendor.
