Ask HN: Why SaaS products do not have a service account?
In SaaS, it is an admin user, or an account that runs integration jobs, etc.
When you are two founders and a dog--you do not care about service accounts, but when you are a team of 30, a dedicated user in IT or Finance needs access to onboard and offboard users.
Majority of the SaaS companies do not provide this feature--and it costs a paid user seat or two to perform routine admin tasks. Hurts in this economy to even have a single SaaS seat unused.
Why is this not done?
Isn't this simple to implement: A (set of) feature flag(s) that does not allow the user to do anything useful except add/delete users is all that's needed.
