In general, we leave it to the managers of top-level groups to determine policy of how subgroups are created. The managers list of the top-level group may be public.

## How can I get a "Robot" account?
A "robot" account is an account which is not directly associated with an individual. These accounts are often used to integrate Continuous Integration or Continuous Deployment solutions with your source control. The Developer Hub supports [deploy keys](https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/help/ssh/README.md#deploy-keys) which can be used to give access on a per-project basis.
