Adding a project

Read about how to add a GCP project to Opal so you can manage temporary access to them.

Overview

Opal lets your developers find and request access to GCP projects. Currently we support requesting viewer and editor roles to projects.

Adding a project

Step 1: Navigate to the Resource Manager

Access the resource manager using this link or find it by navigating to it: IAM & Admin > Manage Resources

Step 2: Label your project

Opal only adds resources for projects that you label with opal. To do this, add a label to your project in the Resource Manager dashboard.

Accessing a project in Opal

If you successfully labeled your project in GCP, the project will show up in the "Resources" page after the next sync.

If you already have access to the project in GCP, through Opal or otherwise, you'll see a "Connected" label in the top right corner of the resource! The permissions to this project are granted to the GCP user that matches your email address.
