In NG9-1-1, an Agent is an authorized person - employee, contractor or volunteer, who has one or more roles, in an Agency. An Agent can also be an automaton in some circumstances (e.g. an IMR answering a call).
In NG9‑1‑1, 9-1-1 operations, and public safety response, an '''''Agent''''' is an authorized person — employee, contractor, or volunteer — who has one or more authorized functions in, or as directed by, an Agency.

In NG9-1-1, an Agent is validated by its parent Agency. The fact that the Agent’s Certificate Signing Request is signed by the parent Agency’s Agency Certificate constitutes validation of that Agent. A validated Agent will have a unique Agent Identifier and will be issued an Agent Certificate. An Agent in NG9-1-1 can also be an automaton in some circumstances (e.g., an [[IMR (Interactive Multimedia Response)|IMR]] answering a call). The Agent Certificate will enumerate the Role(s) of the Agent.

In NG9‑1‑1, 9-1-1 operations, and public safety response, an Agent is an authorized person — employee, contractor, or volunteer — who has one or more authorized functions in, or as directed by, an Agency.

In NG9-1-1, an Agent is validated by its parent Agency. The fact that the Agent’s Certificate Signing Request is signed by the parent Agency’s Agency Certificate constitutes validation of that Agent. A validated Agent will have a unique Agent Identifier and will be issued an Agent Certificate. An Agent in NG9-1-1 can also be an automaton in some circumstances (e.g., an IMR answering a call). The Agent Certificate will enumerate the Role(s) of the Agent.
