Headless Authentication
Headless user accounts that cannot use the web UI to log in to Coder. This is useful for creating accounts for automated systems, such as CI/CD pipelines or for users who only consume Coder via another client/API.
You must have the User Admin role or above to create headless users.

To make API or CLI requests on behalf of the headless user, learn how to generate API tokens on behalf of a user.
