Service accounts are non-human user identities for workloads that need to connect to MotherDuck without using a person's credentials. Use these guides to create service accounts, configure their Ducklings, manage tokens, and troubleshoot through UI impersonation.

## Included pages

- [Impersonate service accounts](https://motherduck.com/docs/key-tasks/service-accounts-guide/impersonate-service-accounts): Use UI impersonation to troubleshoot and inspect resources as a service account.
- [Manage service accounts and tokens](https://motherduck.com/docs/key-tasks/service-accounts-guide/manage-service-accounts-and-tokens): Use the MotherDuck UI and REST API to view, delete, and rotate service account tokens.
