Hi @GustavoMartins,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

It looks like you are encountering an issue with your Google Cloud IAM role assignment, specifically determining which entity (like a service account) should be granted the "Cloud Vision API User" role to enable your AppSheet integration.

Here are the potential ways that might help with your use case:

• Identify and Assign the IAM Role: You may want to go to your Google Cloud project’s IAM & Admin > IAM section and click on “GRANT ACCESS” (or “Add Member”). When you’re selecting a role, type “Vision” in the search or filter box. This will help you quickly find and assign the Cloud Vision API User role, which gives your project the necessary permissions to access the Cloud Vision API.
• Connect AppSheet to GCP with a Service Account: To connect your AppSheet app with the Google Cloud Vision API, start by heading to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts in your GCP project and creating a new service account, give it a clear name like appsheet-vision-connector. Next, navigate to IAM, locate the service account, or use the "GRANT ACCESS" option to add it, then assign it the Cloud Vision API User role. Once that’s set, open the service account’s settings, go to the Keys tab, and create a new JSON key. This key file holds the credentials your AppSheet app will rely on. 

You can refer to the following documentation on Google Cloud's official resources to guide your AppSheet and Vision API integration: the Cloud Vision documentation provides essential steps for enabling the API, setting up service accounts, and managing access permissions, while the AppSheet API integration guide walks you through connecting your app to external services, allowing you to securely leverage Vision capabilities from within AppSheet.

In addition, as you're new to GCP, I recommend starting with the Free Tier to get trial credits and explore free tools. Then, check out cloud.google.com for services and docs, and use Cloud Skills Boost to offer guided courses and labs tailored to every level from beginner to advanced. These resources form a solid foundation to help you understand, explore, and grow within the GCP ecosystem confidently.
