.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR Authorize a Google account for all Transfer Service features.

This command provides admin and owner rights for simplicity. If that's too much
authority for your use case, see custom setups here:
https://cloud.google.com/storage\-transfer/docs/on\-prem\-set\-up



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To see what Transfer Service IAM roles the account logged into gcloud may be
missing, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha transfer authorize
.RE

To add the missing IAM roles, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha transfer authorize \-\-add\-missing
.RE

To check a custom service account for missing roles, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha transfer authorize \e
    \-\-creds\-file=path/to/service\-account\-key.json
.RE



.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-add\-missing\fR

Add IAM roles necessary to use all Transfer Service features to the specified
account. By default, this command just prints missing roles.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-creds\-file\fR=\fICREDS_FILE\fR

The path to the creds file for an account to authorize. The file should be in
JSON format and contain a "type" and "client_email", which are automatically
generated for most creds files downloaded from Google (e.g. service account
tokens). If this flag is not present, the command authorizes the user currently
logged into gcloud.
