Setting up authentication

You can run the following commands using the Cloud SDK on your local machine, or within Cloud Shell.

1. Create the service account. Replace [NAME] with your desired service account name.

gcloud iam service-accounts create [NAME]

2. Grant permissions to the service account. Replace [PROJECT_ID] with your project ID.

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding [PROJECT_ID] --member "serviceAccount:[NAME]@[PROJECT_ID].iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role "roles/owner"

3. Generate the key file. Replace [FILE_NAME] with a name for the key file.

gcloud iam service-accounts keys create [FILE_NAME].json --iam-account [NAME]@[PROJECT_ID].iam.gserviceaccount.com

4. Provide authentication credentials to your application code by setting the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. Replace [PATH] with the file path of the JSON file that contains your service account key, and [FILE_NAME] with the filename.
