account (computing)

account

On a computer network, a user ID issued to a specific individual to enable access to the system, files, and other shared resources that they require. The existence of accounts allows system administrators to assign access privileges to specific individuals (which in turn enables those individuals to receive private messages such as e-mail) and also to track the use of the computer system and its resources.
