Opal lets your developers find and request access to GCP projects. You can currently request viewer and editor roles to projects. Use the following steps to add a project.

​
1. Go to the Resource Manager

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

​
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.

Adding a label to a project in GCP.

Access a project in Opal

If you successfully labeled your project in GCP, the project shows on 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.
