   Add External API Server configuration using the following information.
   
   
   • Server Name: a unique name.
   • Description: an optional field to describe this server.
   • API Source Type: select Google Cloud.
   • Access Method: select Service Account.
   • Endpoint: service account in email format just created. See step 2 of section Create Service Account.
