How to connect a Firebase project to FireSheets in under a minute

What you need

A Firebase project with Firestore enabled, and owner or editor access in the Google Cloud project so you can create a service account key.

Step 1: Generate the service account JSON

In the Firebase console, open Project settings, switch to the Service accounts tab and click Generate new private key. Firebase downloads a JSON file, keep it private, it grants access to your data.

Step 2: Paste it into FireSheets

In FireSheets, click New project, paste the JSON and give the project a name. FireSheets validates the credentials, lists your top-level collections within seconds and stores the key encrypted at rest. You can revoke the key in Google Cloud at any time and nothing else needs to change.

Step 3: Invite your team

On Workspace plans, share the project by email with read or read-write access. Teammates never see the service account JSON, they sign in to FireSheets with their own account and inherit the project-level role you give them.

Security notes

Credentials are encrypted with a per-project key and never logged. If you rotate a service account, paste the new JSON into Manage project and the old one is wiped. FireSheets does not store your Firestore data, it queries it live every time.
