```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Run the following command in your terminal:

cldkctl describe serviceaccount [name] 
```

2. Replace \[name] with the Service Account name you want to inspect.
3. To view the resource name, refer to the corresponding get serviceaccount section.
4. If the resource is located in a non-default namespace, include the `-n` or `--namespace` flag followed by the namespace name.
