 ## Usage
 
-TODO(jsuereth): Write this.
-
 See [the code example](../../examples/metrics) for details.
 
 ## Authentication
 
-TODO(jsuereth): Write this section.
+If you are running in a GCP environment, the exporter will automatically authenticate using the environment's service account. If not, you will need to follow the instructions in Authentication.
+
+This exporter uses [google-cloud-java](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java), which uses the [google-auth-library-java](https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-java) for authentication. For details about how to configure the authentication see [here](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java#authentication).
+
+If you prefer to manually set the credentials, they can be passed to the exporter using the [`setCredentials`](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-java/blob/7a8dcf420f5551bf0df969f83928b18c443da5aa/exporters/metrics/src/main/java/com/google/cloud/opentelemetry/metric/MetricConfiguration.java) method:
+```java
+MetricConfiguration.builder()
+    .setCredentials(new GoogleCredentials(new AccessToken(accessToken, expirationTime)))
+    .setProjectId("MyProjectId")
+    .build();
