contents In this paper, we present a generalization of well-established results regarding symmetries of $\Bbbk$-algebras, where $\Bbbk$ is a field. Traditionally, for a $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, the group $\Bbbk$-algebra automorphisms of $A$ captures the symmetries of $A$ via group actions. Similarly, the Lie algebra of derivations of $A$ captures the symmetries of $A$ via Lie algebra actions. In this paper, given a category $\mathcal{C}$ whose objects possess $\Bbbk$-linear monoidal categories of modules, we introduce an object $\operatorname{Sym}_{\mathcal{C}}(A)$ that captures the symmetries of $A$ via actions of objects in $\mathcal{C}$. Our study encompasses various categories whose objects include groupoids, Lie algebroids, and more generally, cocommutative weak Hopf algebras. Notably, we demonstrate that for a positively graded non-connected $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, some of its symmetries are naturally captured within the weak Hopf framework.
