## Design Overview
A service account binds together several things:
- a *name*, understood by users, and perhaps by peripheral systems, for an identity
- a *principal* that can be authenticated and (authorized)[../authorization.md]
- a *principal* that can be authenticated and [authorized](../authorization.md)
- a [security context](./security_contexts.md), which defines the Linux Capabilities, User IDs, Groups IDs, and other
capabilities and controls on interaction with the file system and OS.
- a set of [secrets](./secrets.md), which a container may use to

There is already a notion of a username in kubernetes, which is populated into a request context after authentication.
However, there is no API object representing a user. While this may evolve, it is expected that in mature installations,
the canonical storage of user identifiers will be handled by a system external to kubernetes.

Kubernetes does not dictate how to divide up the space of user identifier strings. User names can be
simple Unix-style short usernames, (e.g. `alice`), or may be qualified to allow for federated identity (

- A Human typically keeps credentials on a machine that is not part of the cluster and so not subject to automatic
management. A VM with a role/service-account can have its credentials automatically managed.
- the identity of a Pod cannot in general be mapped to a single human.
- If policy allows, it may be created by one human, and then updated by another, and another, until its behavior cannot be attributed to a single human.
