Connect a Google Cloud Platform project

To connect your GCP project to Cloud Entitlements, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Cloud Entitlements left menu.
  2. Click Cloud setup to open a dropdown menu.
  3. Select Google Cloud Platform.
  4. On the upper-right corner, click + Connect.
  5. Select the option Project.
  6. Enter a Name to identify your GCP project within Cloud Entitlements.
  7. Enter your Project ID.
  8. Upload the Service account key's JSON file.
  9. If needed, attribute tags to the project. Separate each tag by pressing the Enter key.
  10. Click Save.

If connected successfully, your GCP project will appear in the list of connected projects.

Important

If the connection is unsuccessful, review the project ID, the roles, and the enabled APIs. You can't use an ID from a project that is already connected to Cloud Entitlements.

To make any necessary changes, click the Actions button, represented by three vertical dots, and click Edit.

Additionally, you can activate or deactivate the project by turning the Status switch on or off.
