Hello Everyone,
Can anyone tell me, why we create a service account when installing a MID Server on any Host?
We create a "Service Account" on the host machine and assign it the   "Log as an service" permission.
My question is: why exactly are we creating this service account?
Thanks

@SatishChitti Here it's from the co-pilot

 

A Windows service is a special type of application that runs in the background of the Windows operating system—often without any user interface or interaction. Think of it as a silent worker that starts when your computer boots up and keeps running even if no one is logged in.
