-## Run modes

-Azure SRE Agent operates in one of three different modes. Your agent behaves differently, depending on the mode type you select.
-
-The three different types of modes are:
-
-* **Read-only**: The read-only mode puts your agent in an observation mode. The agent has access to your inspect and report on your apps and can advise you on what actions to take. In this mode, the agent only has *reader* access to most services. In limited instances, the agent is granted *contributor* access to services solely to access configuration data.
-
-* **Review**: As the agent operates in review mode, the agent can make changes to your apps and services on your behalf, but doesn't take action unless you give express approval. In this mode, the agent has  *reader* or *contributor* access to services.
-
-* **Autonomous**: Autonomous mode gives the agent full ability to work on your behalf without the need to request approval to proceed. In this mode, the agent has *reader* or *contributor* access to services.
