+
+Kubernetes enables access control for workloads by providing service accounts.
+A service account represents an identity for processes that run in a pod.
+When a process is authenticated through a service account, it can contact the
+API server and access cluster resources. If a pod doesn't have an assigned
+service account, it gets the `default` service account.
+Learn about [managing service accounts](https://v1-8.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/admin/service-accounts-admin/).
+
+In Docker EE, you give a service account access to cluster resources by
+creating a grant, the same way that you would give access to a user or a team.
+Learn how to [grant access to cluster resources](../authorization/index.md).
+
+In this example, you create a service account and a grant that could be used
+for an NGINX server.
+
+## Create the Kubernetes namespace
+
+A Kubernetes user account is global, but a service account is scoped to a
+namespace, so you need to create a namespace before you create a service
+account.
+
+1.  Navigate to the **Namespaces** page and click **Create**.
+2.  In the **Object YAML** editor, append the following text.
+    ```yaml
+    metadata:
+      name: nginx
+    ```
+3.  Click **Create**.
+4.  In the **nginx** namespace, click the **More options** icon,
+    and in the context menu, select **Set Context**, and click **Confirm**.
+
+    ![](../images/create-service-account-1.png){: .with-border}
+
+## Create a service account
+
+Create a service account named `nginx-service-account` in the `nginx`
+namespace.
+
+1.  Navigate to the **Service Accounts** page and click **Create**.
+2.  In the **Object YAML** editor, paste the following text.
+    ```yaml
+    apiVersion: v1
+    kind: ServiceAccount
+    metadata:
+      name: nginx-service-account
+    ```
+3.  Click **Create**.
+
+    ![](../images/create-service-account-2.png){: .with-border}
+
+## Create a grant
+
+To give the service account access to cluster resources, create a grant with
+`Restricted Control` permissions.
+
+1.  Navigate to the **Grants** page and click **Create Grant**.
+2.  In the left pane, click **Resource Sets**, and in the **Type** section,
+    click **Namespaces**.
+3.  Select the **nginx** namespace.
+4.  In the left pane, click **Roles**. In the **Role** dropdown, select
+    **Restricted Control**.
+5.  In the left pane, click **Subjects**, and select **Service Account**.
+
+    > Service account subject type
+    >
+    > The **Service Account** option in the **Subject Type** section appears only
+    > when a Kubernetes namespace is present.
+    {: .important}
+
+6.  In the **Namespace** dropdown, select **nginx**, and in the
+    **Service Account** dropdown, select **nginx-service-account**.
+7.  Click **Create**.
+
+    ![](../images/create-service-account-3.png){: .with-border}
+
+Now `nginx-service-account` has access to all cluster resources that are
+assigned to the `nginx` namespace.
