How to Create a Service Account for Google Workspace
This is the second step of setting up your Google integration with Space Connect. Please make sure you follow the next stage at the bottom of each article in order.
In order for Space Connect to seamlessly integrate with user calendars, we require a Service Account to be established. Follow the below steps to set up a Space Connect service account.
Please ensure you have completed the steps in the article here first before continuing.
Firstly, Log in to your Google Cloud Platform and click "API & Services". Click the "Credentials" menu item.
Click on the "Create Credentials" button and select the "Service account" tab.
Enter the below details to create the service account.
Service Account Name = SpaceConnect Service Account
Click "Create and Continue" then move on to step 2.
Role = Owner
Step 3 can be left blank.
Click "Done"
Click on the pencil icon to the right of the new service account to get the edit credentials page. Then navigate to the 'keys' tab.
Click "Add Key" and select "Create new key".
Key Type = P12
Click "Create" and save the file.
After you select the "Create" button, the P12 file will automatically download. The New private key details will display and show you the private key password.
NOTE: You will need to record the private key password as you will need these later.
In the Google Cloud Platform, navigate to APIs & Services in the left-hand side menu then click "OAuth consent screen".
Make sure the project “Space Connect” is selected at the top and then tick the option “External” and click "Create".
Go back to "APIs and Services" and select the "Credentials" tab in the left-hand menu. Record the Client ID of the service account in the OAuth 2.0 client IDs section as you will need this later.
Now it's time to create the Apps and set the scope.
Sign in to the Google Admin Console here. Click on the Security tab on the left-hand navigation menu. Then click on "Access and data control" to expand the drop down. Click "API Controls". From here Click "Manage Domain Wide Delegation" towards the bottom and then click "Add New".
Click on the "Authorise" button.
