NAME
gcloud auth application-default - manage your active Application Default
Credentials
SYNOPSIS
gcloud auth application-default COMMAND [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
Application Default Credentials (ADC) provide a method to get credentials
used in calling Google APIs. The gcloud auth application-default command
group allows you to manage active credentials on your machine that are used
for local application development.
These credentials are only used by Google client libraries in your own
application.
For more information about ADC and how it works, see Authenticating as a
service account (https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production).
EXAMPLES
To use your own user credentials for your application to access an API,
run:
$ gcloud auth application-default login
This will take you through a web flow to acquire new user credentials.
To create a service account and have your application use it for API
access, run:
$ gcloud iam service-accounts create my-account
$ gcloud iam service-accounts keys create key.json \
--iam-account=my-account@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com
$ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=key.json
$ ./my_application.sh
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --help.
Run $ gcloud help for details.

login
Acquire new user credentials to use for Application Default
Credentials.
print-access-token
