# How can teams manage and secure service accounts across an organization?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Service accounts are often created quickly, shared widely, and rarely reviewed, which can leave long-lived credentials and unclear ownership across an organization. I’ve noticed teams take different approaches to this, including centralized inventories, credential rotation, access reviews, and monitoring for unusual activity, and the effort to keep them under control varies with how many accounts exist. How have you managed and secured service accounts across your organization, and which practices made the biggest difference?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Ownership seems like the place to start. If an account needs urgent attention, can someone identify the service that depends on it and the person who can safely change it? An inventory becomes much more useful when that information stays current after people move teams.&lt;/p&gt;
