  notes: >-
    Service-account tokens replace the older JWT approach and provide granular
    per-token permissions via RBAC roles. Passed as Authorization: Bearer; the
    agent uses --remote-store-bearer-token-file. The target project is selected
    separately through the projectID gRPC metadata header
    (--remote-store-grpc-headers), decoupling project assignment from token
    permissions. Tokens are shown once at creation; only a hash is stored.

  RBAC — roles, role bindings and permissions are managed via RoleService

  AuthorizationService.CanI.
