Hi Sri Krishna,

The goal of the Firebase token was to allow the CLI to impersonate you without going through a sign in flow so the CLI could be used in CI/CD type workflows. A service account enables similar use cases but in a more secure and less disruptive manner.

If the Firebase token was sufficient for your use case then a service account should be a drop in replacement.

Using an organization structure will provide additional environment/user/team management features but those are not necessary to replicate the functionality provided by the Firebase token.

Hope this helps,
Arthur.

I am having a design question and I need help deciding what is the best architecture here. I am using firebase-cli and this command particularly "firebase login:ci" to get a long lived firebase token. I am setting FIREBASE_TOKEN parameter using this token and creating projects within my "vsri...@gmail.com" account. I recently saw a message saying the firebase tokens would be deprecated and I need to move to service account. I have a question here, to keep my setup of creating multiple firebase project inside a single account, should I use a service account or organization structure here? Should I be doing this using my own domain(srivijayapuri.cloud) here? Should I have my projects under an organization structure? Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.
