Current Limitation: Service accounts and their associated credentials (tokens) must be created manually through the admin UI. For enterprise environments with multiple integrations requiring service accounts, this creates significant operational overhead.

Impact:

• Manual provisioning takes 2-3 minutes per service account
• This means if you need to provision 150 service accounts to provision, it will take about 5-7.5 hours of administrative work to do the initial set up.
• Does not scale for organizations managing hundreds of integrations
• Delays deployment of security best practices (service accounts vs. personal tokens)

Requested Capability: Provide an API endpoint or CLI tool to programmatically manage the Service Account lifecycle:

1. Create service accounts
2. Generate and retrieve associated tokens/credentials
3. Configure basic account properties (name, description, permissions scope)
4. Suspend/deactivate/delete service accounts

Use Case: Enterprise organizations transitioning from personal access tokens (PATs) to service accounts for integrations need to provision service accounts at scale. Manual provisioning is not viable when dealing with 100+ integrations across Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, and related tools.
