API Suite - Google Service Account

Overview

You can use this account type to connect the HTTP Client Snap with Google Cloud endpoints, such as Analytics 4 and Compute Engine.

Prerequisites

  • Service Account in the Google Cloud. Learn more: How to create a Service Account in the Google Cloud console.

  • Custom role access for the Service account. Learn more: How to create and manage custom roles. Add the following permissions to the custom role (insufficient permissions causes the Snap to fail):

    • storage.objects.update (Write)

    • storage.objects.delete (Write)
