   resourcemanager.organizations.getIamPolicy
   resourcemanager.projects.get
   resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy
   resourcemanager.projects.list
   

   You’ll need these permissions to give ConductorOne READ/WRITE access (syncing access data and provisioning access):

   cloudasset.assets.analyzeIamPolicy
   cloudasset.assets.searchAllIamPolicies
   cloudasset.assets.searchAllResources
   iam.roles.get
   resourcemanager.folders.getIamPolicy

2. Search for Google Cloud Platform with Google Workspace and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Google Cloud Platform with Google Workspace connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

   • Create a new managed app

4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

12. Optional. Uncheck the box (which is checked by default) if you want to sync Google Cloud Platform default projects.

13. Optional. In the Project IDs field, enter a list of project IDs to limit the connector’s sync to only those projects. Be sure to enter project IDs, not project names.

14. Optional. Check the box to Enable Workforce Identity Federation, which allows the connector to sync Workforce Identity pools and pool providers.

    • If you want the connector to provision Workforce Identity pools, enter the relevant Workforce Identity Pool ID and Workforce Identity Pool Provider ID in the relevant fields.
15. By default, the connector only syncs roles that are assigned to an IAM policy. These settings allow you to configure the connector to sync roles regardless of their IAM policy status.

    1. Optional. Check the box to Always sync custom roles.

    2. Optional. In the List of role IDs to always sync field, enter a list of role IDs that should be synced. Be sure to enter role IDs, not role names.
