Setup Instructions

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. From top dropdown, copy your Project ID
3. Click menu (≡), go to “IAM & Admin” → “Service Accounts”
4. Click “Create Service Account”
   • Name: security-audit
   • Click “Create and Continue”
5. Add roles:
   • Click “Select a role”
   • Choose “Viewer”
   • Click “Done”
6. On the service accounts list:
   • Find your new “security-audit” account
   • Copy the Client email (ends with @…gserviceaccount.com)
7. Click the three dots (⋮) next to your service account
   • Select “Manage keys”
   • Click “Add Key” → “Create new key”
   • Choose “JSON”
   • Click “Create”
   • It will download a JSON file automatically

Now you have all needed values:

• Client email: (from step 6)
• Application Credentials: use the downloaded JSON file

IMPORTANT: Keep that JSON file safe - you can’t download it again!
