Work with your Google sales representative to enable billing and the APIs
for your specific service.
Install the Cloud CLI tool to complete the service
configuration you started with your sales representative.
Authenticate the CLI to your project.
Note: Consider using the Cloud Shell interactive environment where Cloud SDK
and other dependencies such as **curl** are already installed. See Using
Cloud Shell.
In the left-hand navigation, select Service Accounts.
At the top of the page, click Create Service Account.
Enter a service account name to display in the Google Cloud console. The
Google Cloud console then generates a service account ID based on this name.
For example, enter fleet-engine-driver-sdk for your Driver SDK User
Service Account.
From the Role drop-down, select Fleet Engine and assign one of the
roles to the service account.
Skip the Grant users access to this service account section.
Click Done to finish creating the service account.
