[Video] How to add a service account with Cerby-managed second factors

This video shows how to add a service account with Cerby-managed second factors to use it in your apps.

Key concepts

• Service accounts are accounts not intended for human use that enable Cerby to perform server-side automation tasks on your behalf. Usually, you assign admin access to these accounts in your apps to perform user and access management tasks.

• Cerby recommends generating and setting up second factors (email addresses and phone numbers) and turning on two-factor authentication managed by Cerby to secure your accounts, streamline your logging-in processes, ensure account access continuity, and comply with corporate security policies.

• In the Cerby platform, we use service accounts as follows:

• Automation accounts that you connect to an App integration

• Monitor accounts that enable our app integrations to retrieve user data from the native partner of a paid social app, such as TikTok for Business or Pinterest Business

• When working with external collaborators who must create and set up service accounts on your behalf, you can share the account with them via a public link so that they can copy the values they need to sign up.
