Service Account Access

Hi there Pleonasm

Short version: You almost certainly don't need to do anything, and toggling that switch will have no effect.

Service Accounts can be thought of as non-human users on your 1Password account which can be used to perform tasks on your behalf through the command line. They're designed mostly for business users, although any type of 1Password account can use them.

You can find out more about the beta of Service Accounts here: 1Password Service Accounts beta Developer.

If the idea of a Service Account is new to you, you very likely don't have any Service Accounts set up on your 1Password account, so toggling that switch off wouldn't make any difference and you wouldn't lose any functionality.

The toggle is there to allow, or prevent, any Service Accounts on your 1Password account from being able to perform actions in that vault. You'll never see it on your Personal or Private vault, since only you have access to them.

To be able to access that toggle, you need to be a user with the ability to manage vaults – an Admin or Owner on a Business or Teams account, or a Family Organizer in 1Password Families – so unprivileged users won't see it or be able to change it.

I'll be happy to answer any questions if you have them. :)
