Service Accounts for secure API integrations

We’ve introduced Service Accounts, a new way for administrators to create Sourcegraph actors that are designed specifically for API access without UI access or user credentials.

Service Accounts are useful in a number of ways:

• No email or password required
• Managed by admins
• Accessed via token
• No UI login capability

This gives enterprise teams a more secure and standardized way to integrate with Sourcegraph, perfect for automated workflows or custom tooling that interacts with our API.

While adoption is optional, customers building API-driven integrations will benefit from stronger access control, better auditability, and alignment with a supported integration pattern.
