This page describes the steps you need to take to enable AutoML Tables for your project.
Before you can use AutoML Tables, you must enable it for your project.
Set up your project
-
Sign in to your Google Account.
If you don't already have one, sign up for a new account.
-
In the Google Cloud Console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.
-
Make sure that billing is enabled for your Cloud project. Learn how to confirm that billing is enabled for your project.
- Enable the AutoML, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage APIs.
- Install the
gcloud
command line tool. - Follow the instructions to create a service account and download a key file for that account.
- Set the
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
environment variable to the path to the service account key file that you downloaded when you created the service account.export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=key-file
- Set the
PROJECT_ID
environment variable to your Project ID.export PROJECT_ID=your-project-id
The AutoML API calls and resource names include your Project ID in them. ThePROJECT_ID
environment variable provides a convenient way to specify the ID. - If you are an owner for your project, add your service account to the AutoML Editor
IAM role, replacing service-account-name with the name of
your new service account. For example,
service-account1@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com
.gcloud auth login gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \ --member="serviceAccount:service-account-name" \ --role="roles/automl.editor"
- Otherwise (if you are not a project owner), ask a project owner to add both your user ID and your service account to the AutoML Editor IAM role.
