Navigation refactor (#5227)
## About the changes
Refactor the main nav, with the following goals: 
* Communicate the value of each section vs the format (ex:
“Understanding Unleash” vs “Topic Guides”)
* Make space for the Feature Flag tutorials section that we’re starting
to build
* Scope updates to navigation and pages that need updates based on new
URLs & organization
* Update URLs to follow the new hierarchy without breaking links (adding
redirects & editing internal links between pages as needed)

### Important files
sidebar.js
docusaurus.config.js

## Discussion points
* Redirects can't be tested out of prod, which is a bummer :/
* Some URLs have been preserved untouched while we monitor for potential
negative SEO impact of client-side redirects
* It's a large PR (sorry). Nav changes and file movements impacted lots
of files.

title: Service Accounts
---
:::info Availability
Service accounts is an enterprise feature available from Unleash 4.21 onwards.
:::
Service accounts are accounts that act as normal Unleash users and that respect the same set of permissions, but that don't represent real users. These accounts do not have a password and cannot log in to the Unleash UI. Instead, they are intended to be used to access the Unleash API programmatically, providing integrations an identity.

Use service accounts to:
- Provide a user-like identity to an integration or automation and manage it within Unleash
- Give access to the Unleash API without giving access to the Unleash UI
- Provide more fine-grained permissions than an admin token provides
In order to create a service account, you can follow the [how to create service accounts](../how-to/how-to-create-service-accounts.mdx) guide.
## Service account tokens
Service account tokens allow service accounts to use the Admin API as themselves with their own set of permissions, rather than using an admin token. See [_how to use the Admin API_](../how-to/how-to-use-the-admin-api.md) for more information.
These tokens act just like [personal access tokens](./api-tokens-and-client-keys.mdx#personal-access-tokens) for the service accounts, except that they are managed by Unleash admins.
When using a service account token to modify resources, the event log will display the service account name for that operation.
Service account tokens can be managed by editing the respective service account:
