A service account is a special type of Google account that belongs to your
application or a virtual machine (VM), instead of to an individual end user.
Your application assumes the identity of the service account to call Google
APIs, so that the users aren't directly involved.
Service account credentials are used to temporarily assume the identity
of the service account. Supported credential types include OAuth 2.0 access
tokens, OpenID Connect ID tokens, self-signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and
more.
public static void BindService(ServiceBinderBase serviceBinder, IAMCredentials.IAMCredentialsBase serviceImpl)
Register service method with a service binder with or without implementation. Useful when customizing the service binding logic.
Note: this method is part of an experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
