How to Create a Service Account for Google G-suite

In order for Space Connect to seamlessly integrate with user calendars, we require a Service Account to be established. Follow the below steps to set up a Space Connect service account.

Please ensure you have completed the steps in the article here first before continuing.

Firstly, Log in to your Google Cloud Platform and click "API & Services". Click the "Credentials" menu item.

Click on the "Create Credentials" button and select the "Service account" tab.

Enter the below details to create the service account.

Service Account Name = SpaceConnect Service Account
Click "Create and Continue" then move on to step 2.
Role = Owner
Step 3 can be left blank.
Click "Done"

Click on the pencil icon to the right of the new service account to get the edit credentials page. Then navigate to the 'keys' tab.
Click "Add Key" and select "Create new key".
Key Type = P12
Click "Create" and save the file.
After you select the "Create" button, the P12 file will automatically download. The New private key details will display and show you the private key password.
NOTE: You will need to record the private key password as you will need these later.

In the Google Cloud Platform, navigate to APIs & Services in the left-hand side menu then click "OAuth consent screen".

Make sure the project “Space Connect” is selected at the top and then tick the option “External” and click "Create".

Add in the following information on "App Information".
