# Concepts

This section covers the core concepts behind ZeroID's identity model. Read these before designing your production tenant or writing authorization logic — the terminology and models here appear throughout the SDK, token payloads, and policy configuration.

* [**Identity Model**](/agent-identity-zeroid/concepts/identity-model.md) — How agents, services, applications, and MCP servers are modeled as first-class identities. Covers tenant structure, identity types, sub-types, trust levels, WIMSE/SPIFFE URIs, and the owner/principal/actor distinction.
* [**Token Flows**](/agent-identity-zeroid/concepts/token-flows.md) — The OAuth 2.0 grant types ZeroID supports (`api_key`, `client_credentials`, `jwt_bearer`, `token_exchange`, `authorization_code`, `refresh_token`) and when to use each one.
