I am trying to create a service account in Google Cloud Platform that has Google Drive API access only. However, I cannot find the role at all:
Furthermore, if I create a 'general service account', then that user can add instances, etc. This has been a terrible security issue in the past, as users with that key have actually created unauthorized instances (thus the above question).
How would I create a service account that has access to Google Drive API, but nothing else?

A service account is a special type of Google account intended to represent a non-human user that needs to authenticate and be authorized to access data in Google APIs. Typically, service accounts are used in scenarios such as: Running workloads on virtual machines (VMs).
Navigate to Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users> Add a User. Next, navigate to Local Security Policies. Select Log on as Service > Properties. Then select Add User or Group and add the user.
Share a Drive FolderGo to your Google Drive and create a new folder. Right-click the folder, choose Share and add the email address of the service account you created in step 3 as an editor to this folder. Thus your Node. js application will be able to access this folder and upload files to it.
If you want your service account should only access google drive, in admin.google.com panel,
Security >> Advanced Settings >> Manage API client access
Under type your service account ID and add google drive scope. You can find scopes here
