Introduction to service accounts<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Service accounts are essential components of identity and access management (IAM) within Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enabling secure interactions between applications, services, and GCP resources. Unlike user accounts, which represent individual human users, service accounts represent non-human entities, such as applications, virtual machines, or services.<\/p>\r\n

Service accounts are associated with a set of credentials, typically in the form of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) or OAuth2 access tokens, which are used to authenticate requests made to GCP APIs and services. These credentials can be securely stored and managed within GCP, ensuring that only authorized applications and services can access resources and perform actions within the cloud environment.<\/p>\r\n
