16. Make sure the honeycommb service account role is set to Administrator. Click Add User

17. On your Users & Permissions page, you should see the service account you just created. In order for your app to receive updates, the service account honeycommb@api-[placeholder].iam.gserviceaccount.com must be on this list with the correct permissions.
