service account.

From the dropdown menu, select New service account. Enter a name for
your service account.
Select your preferred key type and click Create. Your new public/private
key pair is generated and downloaded to your machine and is the only copy of

Roles and permissions

Android Management User role (or roles/androidmanagement.user).
