本页面介绍了开始使用 Service Consumer Management API 之前需要完成的步骤。本页面假定您已拥有一个Google Cloud 项目和一个托管式服务（例如使用 Cloud Endpoints 创建的托管式服务），同时您了解租赁单位。
激活服务
虽然 Service Consumer Management API 可以帮助您管理自己的托管式服务的使用，但它本身也是一项服务。因此，在使用它之前，必须为托管托管式服务的 Google Cloud 项目激活 Service Consumer Management API。此项目称为服务提供方项目。
为您的服务提供方项目启用 Service Consumer Management API 的最简单方法是使用 Google Cloud 控制台。或者，您也可以通过命令行或以编程方式启用它。 如需了解详情，请参阅启用和停用服务。
设置权限
在为您的服务提供方项目启用 Service Consumer Management API 之后，您必须创建自己的服务身份，并授予它对资源的权限，以便它能够在您的文件夹中创建租户项目，并在租户项目上设置正确的结算账户。这些操作由 Service Consumer Management API 拥有的服务账号执行，该账号按以下格式指定：

It assumes that you already have a\nGoogle Cloud project and a [managed service](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#managed)\n(such as a managed service created using [Cloud Endpoints](/endpoints/docs)) in\nthat project, and that you understand\n[Tenancy Units](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#tenancy).\n\nActivating the service\n----------------------\n\nWhile the Service Consumer Management API helps you to manage the usage of your own\n[managed services](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#managed), it is also a service\nitself. Therefore, before you can use it, you must activate the\nService Consumer Management API for the Google Cloud project that hosts your managed\nservice. This project is known as a [service producer](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#producer)\nproject.\n\nThe simplest way to enable the Service Consumer Management API for your service\nproducer project is to use the\n[Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/serviceconsumermanagement.googleapis.com).\nAlternatively, you can enable it from the command line or programmatically. You\ncan find out more in\n[Enabling and Disabling Services](/service-usage/docs/enable-disable).\n\nSetting permissions\n-------------------\n\nAfter the Service Consumer Management API is enabled for your service producer\nproject, you must create your own service identity and grant it permissions on\nyour resources so that it can create [tenant projects](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#tenant) in\nyour folders and set up the correct billing account on tenant projects. These\nactions are executed by a service account owned by the Service Consumer Management\nAPI, which is specified in the following format: \n\n```\nservice-PROJECT_NUMBER@service-consumer-management.iam.gserviceaccount.com\n```\n\nwhere *PROJECT_NUMBER* is the project number for your service producer project\nthat activated the Service Consumer Management service.\n\nThe remainder of this guide uses *GCM_SA* to represent the\nService Consumer Management API service account.\n\nYou can use the following commands to generate the service identity.\n\n1. Login with your user account.\n\n```\ngcloud auth login\n```\n\n1. Generate the service identity.\n\n```\ngcloud beta services identity create --service=serviceconsumermanagement.googleapis.com --project=PROJECT_ID\n```\n\n### Setting folder permissions\n\n1. Ensure that you have a folder for holding your tenant projects: you'll need\n to have an [Organization](/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-organization)\n to create folders within your service producer project. If you don't have a\n folder, follow the instructions in\n [Creating and Managing Folders](/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-folders#create-folder)\n to create one. Your folder will have an integer based *FOLDER_ID*.\n\n2. On your folder, assign the **Project Creator/Deleter** role to the\n Service Consumer Management API service account. Follow the instructions in\n [Configuring Access to Folders](/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-folders#configuring_access_to_folders)\n to add the **Project Creator** and **Project Deleter** role, using *GCM_SA* as\n the user.\n\n### Setting billing account permissions\n\n1. Ensure that you have a billing account that can be shared for tenant\n projects. If you don't have a billing account, see\n [Create, Modify, or Close a Billing Account](/billing/docs/how-to/manage-billing-account)\n for instructions to create one.\n\n2. Follow the\n [instructions](/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access)\n to add the **Billing Account User** role to *GCM_SA*.\n\nResource requirements\n---------------------\n\n- The Service Consumer Management API creates [tenant projects](/service-infrastructure/docs/glossary#tenant) on your behalf, so ensure you have enough quota to create them.\n- See the [project limits](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/limits#project-limits) documentation to know how many projects can be created by default and to request increases to that limit."]]
