Pre-Requisite: In order to complete the following onboard steps you will need to have privileges to: create a new GCP project, create a service account, and modify your organizations IAM policy.

    Click on Create near the bottom.
  2. Click on “Continue” on the Service Account Permissions page. You will be adding permissions later.
  3. On the final page, click on “+ CREATE KEY” near the bottom of the page. On the right sidebar, ensure “JSON” is selected and then click on CREATE. Save the JSON (used in Step 6) file. Close the warning dialog that may appear.

  3. In the sidebar that will appear from the right, add the newly created service account’s email in the “New members” field
  4. Click on select a role, and type in “Security Reviewer”, select the “Security Reviewer” role from the list below the input field.
  5. Click on Add Another Role and do the same as above for “Firebase Viewer”
