This standard applies to administrative accounts and service accounts.
Administrative accounts - a username and password that grants an individual privileged access to the IT System. Privileged access is access to make changes to the overall IT System.
Service accounts - special user accounts that an application, service or system uses to interact with the operating system. These types of accounts are typically used for automation.
