Google service account

Now let’s know about ‘Google service account’. A Google service account is a special type of Google account intended to represent a non-human user that needs to authenticate and be authorized to access Google APIs and services programmatically. These accounts are typically used by applications, virtual machines, and other non-human entities that need access to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources.

Here are the basic steps to create a Google service account:

Go to the Google Cloud Console:

You should navigate to the Google Cloud Console.

Select or create a project:

If you don’t have a project yet, you will have to create one using the project selector dropdown in the top navigation bar.

Open the IAM & Admin page:

You have to click on the menu icon in the top left corner, then navigate to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.

Click on “Create Service Account”:

You need to provide a name and description for your service account.

Set permissions (optional):

Sometimes you can optionally grant this service account access to specific roles (like Project Viewer, Editor, or Owner) depending on what you want it to do.

Generate and download the private key:

After creating the service account, you’ll have the option to generate a new private key as a JSON file. This key file is what your application will use to authenticate itself when accessing Google APIs.

Use the service account in your application:

Once you have the JSON key file, you can use it in your application’s code to authenticate API requests.Remember to keep your JSON key file secure, as it grants access to your Google Cloud resources based on the roles and permissions assigned to the service account.
