## Thanks
Thanks to Jay Lee for the original version of this document.
## Introduction
Delegated admin service accounts (DASA) are regular [GCP service accounts](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts#what_are_service_accounts) that are granted a Workspace [delegated admin role](https://support.google.com/a/answer/33325). Service accounts have an email address like `gam-project-xuw-sp1-c4b@gam-project-xuw-sp1-c4b.iam.gserviceaccount.com` and are not part of a Workspace or Cloud Identity domain even if they are owned by a project in the domains organization. Service accounts cannot login to Google web services interactively, they are only able to call Google APIs.
GAM7 version 6.50.00 or higher is required.
## Advantages
* DASA accounts dont require a Workspace or Cloud Identity license.
* DASA accounts dont have a password login that can be phished or captured, they use [RSA private keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)) to sign authentication requests which makes them very secure. You should however [rotate the key](https://jaylee.us/qwm) on a regular basis and keep it safe and secured!
