Creating Service Accounts for SailPoint API Automations

:bangbang: The recording for this event can be located below. Please post any questions there!

Service accounts are identities in Identity Security Cloud (ISC) that aren’t real people. Their purpose is to provide credentials for automation services that can be managed and controlled separately from real identities. As a developer of integrations with ISC, there are two main advantages of creating service accounts: you can scope access to the least privilege necessary to do the job, and you can ensure that your integration’s access doesn’t end when you leave your organization. If you use your user account to generate credentials for integrations, they are tied to your level of access (i.e. admin) and can be revoked when you leave the organization - this could cause downtime in your integrations. Join Christina Gagnon as she demonstrates how to create and manage service accounts in ISC.
