# Service Accounts

Service accounts are specialized user accounts designed for automation, API integrations, and programmatic access to Sourcegraph, as opposed to using access tokens from regular users. Unlike regular user accounts, service accounts don't require an email address or password, cannot access the Sourcegraph UI, don't count towards a license's user limit and won't be part of any billing cycles.
