Issuer reference
Field reference for the Issuer editor at Identities → Issuers in the Agent Gateway dashboard.
An Issuer is a gateway entity with an auto-generated DID that links a connected trust registry to a surface. Issuers are created at Identities → Issuers in the dashboard. Use this page to register the gateway as a participant with a trust registry and monitor the registration status before assigning the issuer to a surface.
For conceptual background, see Trust registries.
