We have created a GCP Service Account. Although we got the File based Cred/Python ingestion to work, we are not happy with that approach as far as security risks.

 

Is there a way to establish a Web Connection to GCP BigQuery using a Service Account (FME 2019.2)?

I'm not sure if this is possible as service accounts do not have passwords and cannot log in via browsers or cookies (per the Google Service Accounts doc).

 

From my understanding the only 2 ways you can authenticate the Google Cloud Service Account is using the Application Default Credentials or a Service account key file.
