We recently added a system/bot account, which can serve several purposes. We generated an API key that is attributed to the bot; so actions performed by the API can be differentiated between automation versus a user action. And, the API keys don't require updating if an admin leaves. In an environment with multiple admins, each of them can "log in as" the bot account when performing system-wide work of any nature. This effectively centralizes ownership of widely-distributed or system objects like reports/calendars/dashboards, views/filters/groupings, documentation, and especially objects where admins might want to reserve manage rights to themselves but not have outright ownership - request queues, select portfolios, etc. This allows you to keep all your email notifications enabled without getting flooded, because you can pick and choose which objects you want to own and which you want the bot account to own, so you only get notifications for your objects. And lastly, it can be used for making announcements that appear to come from the system and not from an admin. It costs an extra license and takes some time to setup; but for larger instances it's worthwhile. William English Disney Destinations, LLC (Marketing Content Management)
