You're all set, now you can run commands against projects you have access to

The project you selected as your default will be used for API calls and billing by default, you can specify another project using the below flag

If you need to impersonate a service account
gecco [ COMMAND ] --impersonate [ SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL ]

Service Accounts
Users
For users we recommend using service account impersonation and not physical keys. Impersonation can be achieved by giving the user the Token Creator role on a particular service account or on the project level. This is a significantly more secure method.
Automation
If you're running gecco remotely as an automated service, it will inherit the service account for the service it's running on. _ For example, if its running on a Compute Engine instance it will use the service account of that instance._ Therefore you should ensure whatever service account it inherits that it has the correct access to the projects and resources for the required commands.
