# Create Service Account User and Find Your Google Play Developer ID

To manage the distribution of your branded app with your developer account, Mobile Publisher needs your Service Account User and Google Play Developer ID info.

Complete these steps from your Google Play Console.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-mysalesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/a39debb4-ddcf-4d21-ae97-ca8229316d3a/images/icon_important.png)

Important

You must be the Account Owner of your Google Cloud Platform account to perform the following steps.

1. Log in to your **Google Cloud Console** (https://console.cloud.google.com/) using the same email associated with your **Google Play Console** account.
2. In the search bar, search for **Create a Project**, fill in the **Project name**, and click **Create**.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-mysalesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/a39debb4-ddcf-4d21-ae97-ca8229316d3a/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note You can skip creating a new project if you want to reuse an existing project from your Google Cloud Console.
3. Search for **APIs and Services** in the search box, choose **Library** from the left-hand navigation bar and search for **Google Play Android Developer API**.
4. Select **Google Play Android Developer API** and click **Enable**.
5. After it‘s enabled, from the home page, search for **Service Accounts** in the search bar.
6. At the top of the page, click **\+ Create Service Account**.
7. Enter the Service Account Name. This field automatically populates the Service Account ID.
8. Click **Create and Continue**.
9. In the **Grant this service account access to project** section, select the role as **Service Accounts** | **Service Account User**, then click **Continue**.
10. Leave the optional **Grant user access to this service account** section blank and click **Done**.
11. Now that a new service account has been created, click the three dots under **Actions** and select **Manage Keys**.
12. Click **Add Key** | **Create New Key** then select **JSON** and choose **Create**. This action saves the JSON onto your computer (you must upload this file later to the Mobile Publisher Setup).
13. From the left panel navigation menu, click **Service Accounts**, then click the newly created service account.
14. Copy the email address of the Service Account User you created to your clipboard. The email appears under the **Email** field under the **Details** tab. The email address must end in .iam.gserviceaccount.com.

Now go back to the Google Play Console, and from the left panel navigation menu, click **Account Details** and copy the 19-Digit ID from the **Developer Account ID** field. Alternatively, you can also find your Google Play Developer ID in the URL of your browser address bar.

- In your browser address bar, look for `https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/<19 Digit ID>/app-list`.
- Copy the set of 19 digits (your Google Play Developer Account ID) after `developers/` to your clipboard.

Note The private key that you download from the Google Play Console is a different JSON file than the Firebase admin SDK private key that you download when you set up push notifications.
