Click the **Add key** drop-down menu, then select **Create new key**. 7. Select **JSON** as the **Key type** and click **Create**. Clicking **Create** downloads a service account key file. After you download the key file, you cannot download it again. Make sure to store the key file securely, because it can be used to authenticate as your service account. You can move and rename this file however you would like. ### gcloud #### Create a service account 1. To create the service account, run the [`gcloud iam service-accounts create`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/iam/service-accounts/create) command: ```bash gcloud iam service-accounts create quickstart-service-account --description="DESCRIPTION" --display-name="quickstart-service-account" ``` 2. Replace the following value: - `DESCRIPTION`: An optional description of the service account 3. To grant your service account the Cloud SQL Client role on your project, run the [`gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/projects/add-iam-policy-binding) command. Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project ID: ```bash gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="serviceAccount:quickstart-service-account@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/cloudsql.client" ``` #### Create and download the service account key file To use the service account you just created from your local computer you need a service account key file to authenticate the sample application as the service account. To create and download the service account key file, run the [`gcloud iam service-accounts keys create`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/iam/service-accounts/keys/create) command: ```bash gcloud iam service-accounts keys create KEY_FILE --iam-account=quickstart-service-account@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com ``` Replace the following values: - `KEY_FILE`: The path to a new output file for the private key --- for example, `~/sa-private-key.json`. - `PROJECT_ID`: Your Google Cloud project ID. The service account key file is now downloaded to your local computer. After you download the key file, you cannot download it again.
