Connect a GCP project using a service account JSON key and review the resulting cloud security inventory and findings.
Reviewed
Before you start
Have the project ID and an authorized service account JSON key for the project. Treat the complete JSON as a secret.
Choose GCP authentication
Open Add Cloud Account, name the connection, and select GCP: Service Account Key.
Enter the project ID
Use the actual Project ID, not its display name or numeric project number. The form expects 6–30 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens, starting with a letter.
Paste the full service account JSON
In Service Account Key (JSON), paste the complete downloaded key file and enter the region if applicable. Do not remove fields or share the key in screenshots, tickets, or source control. The form encrypts it before storage.
Connect and inspect the first scan
Submit the connection, verify its status, and open Scan History. When the first scan completes, review Inventory filtered to GCP and the selected account, then investigate any findings.
Where you are now
The GCP project is connected and you can verify its collected resources and security findings.
WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS OFF
A few things to check
JSON is rejected
Paste the full service account key JSON, including its braces and escaped newlines.
A scan cannot read resources
Check the service account permissions and project scope with your Google Cloud administrator.
