Google PubSub - serviceAccount:[email protected] doesn't exist

I am trying to subscribe to Gmail for mail notifications using Google's Pub/Sub and I've gone through the documentation and tutorials provided by Google. At one point, the docs state that I need to publish the correct rights to my PubSub topic:

You need to grant publish privileges to serviceAccount:[email protected]. You can do this using the Cloud Pub/Sub Developer Console permissions interface following the resource-level access control instructions.

My understanding is that the publish privilege is equivalent to pubsub.topics.publish or just "PubSub Publisher". But what about the serviceAccount:[email protected]? I cant' find that service account anywhere and the console is not letting me create it due to character restrictions. Is there another way to get this account?

Permissions are set by Pub/Sub Topic in the Pub/Sub Topics section of the GCP Console.

  • Go to the Google Cloud Console.

  • From the Hamburger menu, go to Big Data -> Pub/Sub -> Topics. Shortcut to this location: https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/cloudpubsub/topicList

  • Click the checkbox for the Topic.

  • At the right side of the console, select "SHOW INFO PANEL".

  • Click Add members

  • Enter the service account and select the desired role. Usually Pub/Sub Publisher.

You do not need to create the gmail service account, it already exists. You are correct about “granting publish privileges” as the same as “Pub/Sub Publisher”.

Under the topic permissions interface, I would pass in the service account [email protected] (note: take out the leading “serviceAccount:” part) in the ‘new members’ field, and select “Pub/Sub Publisher” as the role.

I am guessing you couldn’t find the service account because you were looking up serviceAccount:[email protected].
