GCP projects and service accounts🔗

Google service accounts are used to permit Data Loader access to specific resources required for CDC, such as Cloud Storage buckets and secret manager resources. It's recommended you make a Google service account specifically for Data Loader and give access to only the resources you make as part of the CDC setup process.


Creating a project🔗

You will need a project and attached service accounts.

To create a new project, follow the instructions in the Google Create a cloud project documentation.


Creating a service account🔗

Once you have a project, you can create a service account. You need to create a service account with the following roles:

  • roles/container.admin
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin

To create a new service account, follow the instructions in the Google Create service accounts documentation. Make sure to click Create and continue to add the above roles to your service account.
