- Service Account
- Service Accounts are typically defined as machine identities. Just like humans, when an application, service, or machine resource needs to access data or another application, service, or resource, a Service Account is used to broker that interaction.
Permissions and roles are assigned to the Service Account that allows the communication to take place. Some cloud organizations are now offering manage identities.
