  Let $f:{\mathbb B}^n \to {\mathbb B}^N$ be a holomorphic map. We study
subgroups $\Gamma_f \subseteq {\rm Aut}({\mathbb B}^n)$ and $T_f \subseteq {\rm
Aut}({\mathbb B}^N)$. When $f$ is proper, we show both these groups are Lie
subgroups. When $\Gamma_f$ contains the center of ${\bf U}(n)$, we show that
$f$ is spherically equivalent to a polynomial. When $f$ is minimal we show that
there is a homomorphism $\Phi:\Gamma_f \to T_f$ such that $f$ is equivariant
with respect to $\Phi$. To do so, we characterize minimality via the triviality
of a third group $H_f$. We relate properties of ${\rm Ker}(\Phi)$ to older
results on invariant proper maps between balls. When $f$ is proper but
completely non-rational, we show that either both $\Gamma_f$ and $T_f$ are
finite or both are noncompact.
