Google Cloud permissions for the Connector
BlueXP requires permissions to perform actions in Google Cloud. These permissions are included in a custom role provided by NetApp. You might want to understand what BlueXP does with these permissions.
Service account permissions
The custom role shown below provides the permissions that a Connector needs to manage resources and processes within your Google Cloud network.
You'll need to apply this custom role to a service account that gets attached to the Connector VM.
You also need to ensure that the role is up to date as new permissions are added in subsequent releases. If new permissions are required, they will be listed in the release notes.
