short-description: >
A service account provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod {% glossary_tooltip text="Pods" term_id="pod" %}.
long-description: >
When processes inside Pods access the cluster, they are authenticated by the API server as a particular service account, for example, `default`. When you create a Pod, if you do not specify a service account, it is automatically assigned the default service account in the same namespace {% glossary_tooltip text="Namespace" term_id="namespace" %}.
