Just to prove Tyson's point I tested for everyone:
sensor# sho users all
CLI ID User Privilege
* 443 cisco administrator
I then added a new service account called "ME"
sensor# sho user all
CLI ID User Privilege
* 465 cisco administrator
ME service
Then I Logged in using the "ME" account
-bash-2.05b$ grep ME /etc/passwd
ME:x:102:50::/home/ME:/bin/bash
-bash-2.05b$ grep service /etc/passwd
-bash-2.05b$ <no output for username service>
-B

Copy paste from the documentation. Again service is a user role. What I am
trying to get to is that it isn't a built in user.
Users Pane Field Definitions
The following fields are found in the Users pane:
*Username-The username. The value is a string 1 to 64 characters in length that
matches the pattern ^[A-Za-z0-9()+:,_/-]+$.
*Role-The user role. The values are Administrator, Operator, Service, and
Viewer. The default is Viewer.
I know it says service account when talking about the creation of the user but
why I am trying to differentiate the two is that it is not already created.
You have to create a user and assign the role of service. Service is a user
role.

Hi Tyson
But it is still a built-in account in the sensor.
With regards

service isn't an account it is a user role. So there are 4 user roles.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] OEQ-related question about IPS "Service" account
Hello all,
Is the "service" account considered a "built-in" user role ?
If asked how many built-in user roles does the IPS sensor have and what are
they, would the "Service" account be amongst them ?
Mark
