Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Generate a private key for your GCP service account
-
Select a project that you want to create a service account for:
-
Navigate to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts:
-
Click + CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT:
-
Give it a name and click CREATE AND CONTINUE:
-
Select a role for the account. We recommend to use the
Viewer
role as it gives only read access to the project. Afterwards, click CONTINUE. -
In the last step, just click DONE:
-
Search for the account that was just created and select it:
-
Navigate to the KEYS tab, click ADD KEY and select
Create new key
. (You can use your own key, but the properties have to be the same as when you generate it. So it is highly recommended to use theCreate new key
option.) -
The key type we support is
JSON
. Click CREATE and the private key will be downloaded to your computer.
