+# Sourcegraph Accounts Managment System (SAMS)
+
+[Sourcegraph Accounts Managment System (SAMS)](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16F6uvfM9EknpcuAQQ8kIPOZ9gHo0Lx4lgprw_5sWJEs/edit) is the centralized accounts system for all of the Sourcegraph-operated systems, it provides:
+
+- Single Sign-On (SSO) experience for users of those systems, and cross-system referenceable user ID.
+- Out-of-the-box machine-to-machine authentication and authorization capabilities.
+
+It is compliant with [OAuth 2](https://oauth.net/2/) and [OIDC](https://openid.net/) protocols but only exposes a subset of the full capabilities for security reasons.
