Robot Account
A Robot Account is a non-human account used by an automation or robot that interacts with applications in a human-like way.
Definition
A Robot Account is a service or automation account that behaves functionally like a user inside applications, often for scheduled operations, reporting, or workflow execution. Because it acts with real application rights and often appears as a user-like identity, it must be governed and protected with the same seriousness as human privileged access.
The Ariovis perspective
Service and robot accounts should not remain technical exceptions outside governance. They need ownership, protected credentials, justified privileges and a lifecycle adapted to their use.
