The security context determines the service's ability to access local and network resources. The Windows operating systems rely on services to run various features.

A service account is a user account that has been created to run a particular piece of software or service. The principle of least privilege is giving the user only the minimum required amount of access. For example, if a user only requires access to certain files then they should only have access to those files.
