+## Authentication
+
+It's incredibly easy to get authenticated and start using Google's APIs. You can set your credentials on a global basis as well as on a per-API basis. See each individual API section below to see how you can auth on a per-API-basis. This is useful if you want to use different accounts for different Google Cloud services.
+
+### On Google Compute Engine
+
+If you are running this client on Google Compute Engine, we handle authentication for you with no configuration. You just need to make sure that when you [set up the GCE instance][gce-how-to], you add the correct scopes for the APIs you want to access.
+
+``` js
+// Authenticating on a global basis.
+var projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT; // E.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'
+
+var bigQuery = require('@google-cloud/bigquery')({
+  projectId: projectId
