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.
