## Machine user accounts in organizations
Your organization might find it useful to have a dedicated account that is used for programmatic or scripted access to your organization's resources using the [Docker Cloud APIs](/apidocs/docker-cloud/).
> **Note**: While these accounts are sometimes called "robot" accounts or "bots", these users may not be _created_ using scripts.
To create a "robot" or machine account for your organization:
1. Create a new Docker ID for the machine user. Verify the email address associated with the user.
2. If necessary, create a new Team for the machine user, and grant that team access to the required resources.
This method is recommended because it makes it easier for administrators to
understand the machine user's access, and modify it without affecting other
users' access.
3. Add the machine user to the new Team.
