You require a service account to access the Assured Open Source Software (Assured OSS) repository and download packages. You also require the service account to access any of the Assured OSS APIs. We recommended that you create a new service account to use exclusively for Assured OSS. However, you can also use an existing service account.
To set up service accounts, see Creating and managing service accounts.
To create a service account key, see Create and manage service account keys.
To learn about best practices for creating and managing service accounts, see Best practices for working with service accounts.
