# Machine Account Attributes

Machine account attributes are used in provisioning configurations for machine accounts.

After you have [created the required machine account subtypes](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/machine/account_configuration.html#creating-machine-account-subtypes>), you can use the machine account attributes to provision machine accounts in your SailPoint tenant.

Refer to [Machine Identity Security Overview](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/machine/index.html>) for more information.
