Set up a Google Identity Platform connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance for Google Identity Platform. Integrate your Google Identity Platform instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

Capabilities

  • Sync user identities from Google Identity Platform to ConductorOne

Add a new Google Identity Platform connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Google Identity Platform and click Add.

    Don’t see the Google Identity Platform connector? Reach out to support@conductorone.com to add Google Identity Platform to your Connectors page.

  1. Choose how to set up the new Google Identity Platform 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

    Do you SSO into Google Identity Platform using your identity, SSO, or federation provider? If so, make sure to add the connector to the unmanaged Google Identity Platform app that was created automatically when you integrated your provider with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new managed app.

  1. 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.

    A Google Identity Platform connector owner must have the following permissions:

    • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
    • Super Admin role in Google Identity Platform
  1. Click Next.

Next steps

  • If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Google Identity Platform connector for instructions on integrating Google Identity Platform with ConductorOne.

  • If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Google Identity Platform connector

A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and Super Admin role in Google Identity Platform must perform this task.

Step 1: Sign in to the Google Cloud Console and Create a New Project

  1. As a Google Identity Platform Super Admin, sign in to https://console.cloud.google.com.

  2. In the toolbar, click the project select dropdown, and click NEW PROJECT.

  3. Create a new project for your organization:

    • Project Name: Choose a names, such as “ConductorOne Integration”
    • Organization/Location: Choose the appropriate Organization/Location

  4. After the project is created, make sure the correct project is selected in the dropdown at the top.

Step 2: Enable the API

  1. In the navigation menu, navigate to > APIs & Services > Library.

  2. Search for and select the Identity Toolkit API.

  3. Click Enable.

Step 3: Create a service account

  1. In the navigation menu, navigate to > APIs & Services > Credentials.

  2. Select CREATE CREDENTIALS > Service Account.

  3. Under Service account details, fill in the following:

    • Service account name: ConductorOne Integration
    • Service account description: for example, “Service account for ConductorOne Google Identity Platform integration”
    • Click CREATE AND CONTINUE

  4. Under Grant this service account access to a project, grant the Identity Toolkit Viewer role.

  5. Leave Grant users access to this service account blank.

  6. Click DONE.

Step 4: Get credentials

  1. Navigate back to APIs & Services > Credentials and select the service account you just created.
  1. On the Service Account Details Page, click KEYS.
  1. Click ADD KEY > Create new key.
  1. Choose JSON and click CREATE. The newly created key is automatically downloaded.
  1. Keep the downloaded file safe. We’ll use it in Step 5.

Step 5: Add your Google Identity Platform credentials to ConductorOne

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Google Identity Platform connector by either:

    • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.

    • Navigate to Connectors > Google Identity Platform (if there is more than one Google Identity Platform listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).

  2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  3. In the Credentials (JSON) area, click Choose file and upload the file from Step 4.

  4. Click Save.

  5. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Google Identity Platform connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Configure the Google Identity Platform integration using Terraform

As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Google Identity Platform and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Google Identity Platform integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
