Service identities are configuration blocks that you can add to role configurations or specify when linking tokens to policies.

They are used during the authorization process to automatically generate a policy for the node(s) specified. You can specify the token linked to the policy in the [`acl_tokens_agent`](/docs/agent/options#acl_tokens_agent) field when configuring the agent.
