Does gSuite (as distinct from GCP) support "service accounts"?

Can that be done?

As far as I can tell, every path for creating a service account starts with the assumption that we are users of GCP. However, as best I can tell, nobody in the org has set up, configured, etc. GCP usage and I'd rather not change that. So, unless gSuite usage automatically involves GCP usage (or we did set it up and then forgot about it), I need some way to create a service account other than thought GCP.

Either that or I need to chose some solution other than Drive.

If you have a GSuite account, you automatically have access to the Google Cloud Console

  • Accessing the Cloud console is important for all kind of development related settings, as you can see here.
  • Among others - creating and managing credentials for client access, enabling APIs, creating Addons, managing quotas and - creating creedntials for a service account.
  • So yes, you need to use the Cloud Console to set up up a service account, abut as a GSuite user you can access the platform with your usual credentials and the steps are well explained.
