Services allow you to create a Cloudsmith API Key not tied to a specific user. Services are ideal for any use case where you have automated processes (such as a CI/CD pipeline or similar) that requires write access to a repository.

For use cases that only require pull/read access to a repository, you may wish to use an Entitlement Token.
