Service Accounts can be created by account administrators when Bridgit Bench credentials are needed for integration or to use Bridgit's API. Service accounts differ from user accounts:
- they can be created without going through the email/sign-up flow
- they can not be used to login to the Bridgit Bench web/mobile app
- there is a globally unique identifier (GUID) for a service account, not an email address
Navigate to:
Settings (gear icon) > Account > Service Accounts
