After getting back an error message on running my javascript program in node.js with my VM instance, I was informed by a member of the Google Cloud Community: "If you need to set up your instance with Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP), you may refer to this document Setting up IAP for Compute Engine. But if you already set up your instance, you just need to enable IAP Enabling IAP for Compute Engine." Given that my VM instance had already been set up, I jumped (at the suggestion of the person advising me) to the part of the document dealing with "Enabling IAP for Compute Engine" without carrying out the other steps for persons who did not already have an up and running VM instance (i.e., load balancing, etc.) While following the steps listed in the documentation, I discovered I must activate the "Configure consent screen" button and create an OAuth consent screen. None of the things I saw after this point seemed to have anything to with my sort of project, that involves no one but myself to give consent to. But I decided this time not to "think too hard" and to simply follow the instructions. After several long, puzzling minutes trying to do what I thought I was supposed to do, I submitted my OAuth request. And after 48 hours or so of waiting for an answer from the Trust & Safety Security & Privacy Team, I just received a Request Denied from them, with no explanation of what was wrong with my submission (though I'm sure several things were), along with a warning that I might need to submit a video. But of what? Perhaps it's worth mentioning at this point that what I wish to do is "simply" use Google Cloud Translation (Advanced) with a glossary in .tmx format to translate a .docx file from one Google-supported human language to another Google-supported human language, outputting the result also in .docx format and storing both in different subdirectories of my bucket. (One directory for the .docx input file and another for the .docx output file, the result of the translation.) My main question is this: is it even necessary to create an OAuth consent screen in such a scenario, with only person (i.e. me) accessing my VM via the GC console? And if a consent screen turns out to be a necessity, can someone please suggest what I might do to get things right this time and not receive a second Request Denied from the members of the Trust & Safety Security & Privacy Team?
