Creating a Service Account

Each project has a service account associated with it. You can create a service account for your project in the Google Cloud Platform Console. When you create a service account, you obtain a key in P12 file format that can be used for authentication.

Procedure

1. Create a service account.

   For instructions about creating a service account and obtaining a P12 key type, go to Google Developers website, Creating a service account.

2. Save your PKCS12 key securely and remember the key location.

   You require the key location later when you create an app.
