Integrating a GCP organization

Integrating a GCP organization


Follow these steps to integrate Apono with your GCP organization:

  1. On the Catalog tab, click GCP. The Connect Integrations Group page appears.
  2. Under Discovery, click Google Organization.
  3. Click one or more resource types to sync with Apono.

    ℹ️

    Apono automatically discovers and syncs all the instances in the environment. After syncing, you can manage Access Flows to these resources.

  4. Click Next. The Apono connector section expands.
  5. From the dropdown menu, select a connector. Choosing a connector links Apono to the roles available in the organization where the connector is located.

    💡

    If the desired connector is not listed, click + Add new connector and follow the instructions for creating an Apono connector.

  6. Click Next. The Integration Config section expands.
  7. Define the Integration Config settings.
    Setting Description
    Integration Name Unique, alphanumeric, user-friendly name used to identify this integration when constructing an access flow
    Organization ID GCP organization ID

  1. Click Next. The Get more with Apono section expands.
  2. Define the Get more with Apono settings.
    Setting Description
    Custom Access Details (Optional) Instructions explaining how to access this integration's resources

    Upon accessing an integration, a message with these instructions will be displayed to end users in the User Portal. The message may include up to 400 characters.

    To view the message as it appears to end users, click Preview.

    NOTE: You can also add the custom_access_details parameter to the apono_integration schema using Terraform. For more information, learn how to integrate with Apono in the Terraform Registry.
    Integration Owner (Optional) Fallback approver if no resource owner is found

    Follow these steps to define one or several integration owners:
    1. From the Attribute dropdown menu, select User or Group under the relevant identity provider (IdP) platform.
    2. From the Value dropdown menu, select one or multiple users or groups.

    NOTE: When Resource Owner is defined, an Integration Owner must be defined.
    Resource Owner (Optional) Group or role responsible for managing access approvals or rejections for the resource

    Follow these steps to define one or several resource owners:
    1. Enter a Key name. This value is the name of the tag created in your cloud environment.

    2. From the Attribute dropdown menu, select an attribute under the IdP platform to which the key name is associated.

      Apono will use the value associated with the key (tag) to identify the resource owner. When you update the membership of the group or role in your IdP platform, this change is also reflected in Apono.

    NOTE: When this setting is defined, an Integration Owner must also be defined.

  1. Click Confirm.

After connecting your GCP organization to Apono, you will be redirected to the Connected tab to view your integrations. The new GCP integration will initialize once it completes its first data fetch. Upon completion, the integration will be marked Active.

Now that you have completed this integration, you can create access flows that grant permission to GCP organizational roles.
