# Setup: Google Play Console

## Preliminary Remarks

The [service account](/frisbii-media/docs/setup-google-cloud-dienstkonto-zur-verknüpfung-mit-plenigo) created and managed in the Google Cloud Console requires access to the desired app(s). This access is made possible by adding the service account as a user within the Google Play Console.

It is also necessary to link an app to a previously [created pub/sub theme](/frisbii-media/docs/setup-google-cloud-pubsub).
