The anatomy of a Boundary target

# Targets
A target is a resource
that represents a networked service
with an associated set of permissions
a [user][] can connect to
and interact with
through Boundary
by way of a session.
A target can only be defined within a [project][].
A target can contain references to [host sets][] from [host catalogs][]
which belong to the same project as the target.
A target can contain references to [credential libraries][]
from [credential stores][] which belong to the same project as the target.
A target can contain an address
which is used by a session to connect to a networked resource.
A target cannot have an address and also reference host sources.
A user must be assigned a [role][] with the `authorize-session` [permission][]
for the target to
establish a session with a networked resource by way of an address,
or host in any host set referenced by the target.
## Attributes
A target has the following configurable attributes:
- `name` - (required)
The `name` must be unique within the target's [project][].
- `description` - (optional)
- `address` - (optional)
Represents a network resource address and is used when establishing a session.
Accepts no port, only an IP address or DNS name.
### TCP Target Attributes
TCP targets have the following additional attributes:
- `session_max_seconds` - (required)
The maximum duration of an individual session between the user and the target.
All connections for a session are closed
and the session is terminated
when a session reaches the maximum duration.
The default is 8 hours (28800 seconds).
Must be greater than 0.
- `session_connection_limit` - (required)
The cumulative number of TCP connections allowed during a session.
-1 means no limit.
The default is -1.
The value must be greater than 0 or exactly -1.
