> I have a few queries regarding the agent management client:

> **1. What is an agent?**
Agents are similar to Service Accounts. For instance, a tenant that has
distributed bots performing different work under different privileges needs a
mechanism to authenticate its bots to resource servers. But, tenant cannot
share its credentials with bots. In such a scenario, the tenant can register
agents and obtain different credentials for agents.
First, you need to have an activated tenant to use Agents.
One tenant can have multiple agents. agents are independent clients that can
obtain OAuth tokens. Agents store attributes and roles and can embed them on
their tokens.
-> you need to enable agents
-> register agent
(This would give clientID and Secret for agent)
-> log using client credentials grant type.
First, try out following REST endpoints of Agent Management

Note: replace port with /apiserver/
> **2. In the agent management client samples, a username and password is
used to get a token. Can we obtain some username and password for running our
test cases**

> "realm_roles": [],
> "attributes": [{
> "key": "agent_cluster_id",
> "values": ["123123131"]
> }]
> }
> id_res = id_client.token(token, username="isjarana",
password="Custos1234", grant_type="password")
> response = client.register_and_enable_agent(id_res['access_token'],
agent)
> print(response)
>
> register_and_enable()

> **What credentials can we use for running a similar code in test case?**
