.SH "NAME"
.HP
gcloud alpha compute instances set\-scopes \- set scopes and service account for a Compute Engine VM instance



.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP
\f5gcloud alpha compute instances set\-scopes\fR \fIINSTANCE_NAME\fR [\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR] [\fB\-\-scopes\fR=[\fISCOPE\fR,...]\ |\ \fB\-\-no\-scopes\fR] [\fB\-\-service\-account\fR=\fISERVICE_ACCOUNT\fR\ |\ \fB\-\-no\-service\-account\fR] [\fIGCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG\ ...\fR]



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR \f5gcloud alpha compute instances set\-scopes\fR lets you
configure service account and scopes for a Compute Engine VM instance.

Note: This command might be deprecated in a future release. Use \f5gcloud
compute instances set\-service\-account\fR instead.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To set a service account with the \f5\fIcloud\-platform\fR\fR scope, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute instances set\-scopes example\-instance \e
    \-\-scopes=cloud\-platform \-\-zone=us\-central1\-b \e
    \-\-service\-account=example\-account
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIINSTANCE_NAME\fR

Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer
to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances


.RE
.sp

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only). \f5gcloud\fR attempts to identify the
appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If
the zone cannot be determined, \f5gcloud\fR prompts you for a selection with all
available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.

.TP 2m

At most one of these can be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-scopes\fR=[\fISCOPE\fR,...]

If not provided, the instance will keep the scopes it currently has.

SCOPE can be either the full URI of the scope or an alias. \fBDefault\fR scopes
are assigned to all instances. Available aliases are:

\fB\-\-service\-account\fR=\fISERVICE_ACCOUNT\fR

A service account is an identity attached to the instance. Its access tokens can
be accessed through the instance metadata server and are used to authenticate
applications on the instance. The account can be set using an email address
corresponding to the required service account. You can explicitly specify the
Compute Engine default service account using the 'default' alias.

If not provided, the instance will use the service account it currently has.

\fB\-\-no\-service\-account\fR
