  2. Select your project
  3. Go to Project Settings → Service Accounts
  4. Click Generate new private key and download the JSON file
  5. Upload the JSON file in the Firepanel wizard

Note:

Never expose your service account key publicly. Treat it with the same care as a password.

After Creation

Once created, you will be redirected to the Project Dashboard. From there you can begin managing your Firestore collections, content types, and team.
