Service Accounts

A Service Account is a special type of account used by software applications or systems to interact with other programs or services securely. It allows automated processes to access data, perform tasks, or communicate without human intervention, much like a user login but designed specifically for machines. These accounts have permissions set by administrators to ensure secure and appropriate access. Think of it as a digital key for a machine or application to perform its functions safely within a larger system, maintaining security and operational efficiency.
