NAME
gdcloud auth activate-service-account - Authorize access to GDC air-gapped with a service account.
SYNOPSIS
gdcloud auth activate-service-account [flags]
DESCRIPTION
Authorize access to GDC air-gapped with a service account.
To allow gdcloud to make requests using service account credentials, use this command to import these credentials from a file that contains a private authorization key, and activate them for use in gdcloud. The "gdcloud auth activate-service-account" serves the same function as the "gdcloud auth login" command, but uses a service account rather than the user credentials.
EXAMPLES
To authorize gdcloud to access GDC air-gapped using an existing service account, run:
gdcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=/path/key.json
REQUIRED FLAGS
--key-file string Path to the private key file.
GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
