Service accounts for secure API integrations
Service accounts let admins create non-UI actors with API access - ideal for secure, controlled integrations.
We’ve introduced service sccounts, 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.
