# Accounts
|
|
|
|
An account is a resource
|
|
that represents a unique set of credentials
|
|
issued from a configured [auth method][]
|
|
which can be used to establish the identity of a user.
|
|
A [user][] can have zero or more accounts
|
|
but an account can only belong to a single user.
|
|
An account can only be associated with a user
|
|
in the same scope as the account's [auth method][].
|
|
|
|
## Attributes
|
|
|
|
All account types have the following configurable attributes:
|
|
|
|
- `name` - (optional)
|
|
If set, the `name` must be unique within the account's [auth method][].
|
|
|
|
- `description` - (optional)
|
|
|
|
### Password Account Attributes
|
|
|
|
Password account types have the following additional attributes:
|
|
|
|
- `login_name` - (required)
|
|
Must be unique within the account's [auth method][].
|
|
Can only contain lower case letters.
|
|
|
|
- `password` - (optional)
|
|
Not setting the `password` disables the account.
