Definitions:

Access to a computer by an automated process without an interactive user, generally machine-to-machine access. Automated access is often triggered from scripts or schedulers, e.g., by executing an SSH client or a file transfer application. Many programs may also use automated access using SSH internally, including many privileged access management systems and systems management tools.
