## Machine user accounts in organizations
211+
212+
Your organization might find it useful to have a dedicated account that is used for programmatic or scripted access to your organization's resources using the [Docker Cloud APIs](/apidocs/docker-cloud/).
213+
214+
> **Note**: While these accounts are sometimes called "robot" accounts or "bots", these users may not be _created_ using scripts.
215+
216+
To create a "robot" or machine account for your organization:
217+
218+
1. Create a new Docker ID for the machine user. Verify the email address associated with the user.
219+
2. If necessary, create a new Team for the machine user, and grant that team access to the required resources.
220+
221+
This method is recommended because it makes it easier for administrators to
222+
understand the machine user's access, and modify it without affecting other
223+
users' access.
224+
225+
3. Add the machine user to the new Team.
