Once an infrastructure resource is protected +by Teleport, you can restrict access to the resource using the Teleport +[role-based access controls +system](../admin-guides/access-controls/access-controls.mdx) and use Teleport +features like session recordings and audit events to understand how your users +interact with the resource. + +To enroll a resource with Teleport, you deploy a Teleport Agent, an instance of +the `teleport` binary configured to run certain services, such as the Teleport +SSH Service and Teleport Database Service. You then configure the Agent to proxy +a resource by querying a service discovery API (Auto Discovery), using a +[dynamic Teleport +resource](../admin-guides/infrastructure-as-code/infrastructure-as-code.mdx), or +naming the resource in the Agent's configuration file. Read more about [Teleport +Agent architecture](../reference/architecture/agents.mdx). + +You can also create a Teleport bot user and set up Machine ID to enable service +accounts to access Teleport-protected resources. + +Read the following documentation for more information on enrolling +infrastructure resources with Teleport: + (!toc!)
