Replace ${project_id} with your project ID and ${service_account_email} with your service account email.

The following steps use the GCloud SDK:

Create a service account which will be used to access the Navigation Connect API.

gcloud --project=${project_id} iam service-accounts create navigationconnect

Give the account the Service Account Token Creator role.

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${project_id} \
  --member=serviceAccount:${service_account_email} \
  --role=roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator

Give the account the Navigation Connect administrator role.

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${project_id} \
    --member=serviceAccount:${service_account_email} \
    --role=roles/navigationconnect.admin

For service accounts that only need read access to trips using GetTrip, use the role navigationconnect.reader.
