Importing service accounts

You can use a specific service account for performing all operations on a target. For details, see “Adding a bucket to HYCU for Google Cloud as a target” and “Managing targets”.

Prerequisites

  • The service account must be configured in Google Cloud and must have access to at least one of the projects linked to the selected billing account.

  • The service account must be granted the Service Account User (roles/iam.serviceAccountUser) and Service Account Token Creator (roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator) roles on at least one of the projects in the protection set.

  • You must have access to a valid JSON file that stores the service account information, including its private key.

Consideration

Imported service accounts are available only for the currently selected HYCU for Google Cloud subscription.

To access the Service Accounts dialog box, click  Administration in the toolbar, and then select Service Accounts.

Procedure

  1. In the Service Accounts dialog box, click  Import.

  2. Click Browse. The Choose File to Upload dialog box opens.

  3. Select the JSON file with the service account information, and then click Open.

  4. Review the service account information, and then click Upload.

    The service account's email address appears in the list of service accounts.

  5. Click Close.

You can at any time delete any service account that you no longer need from HYCU for Google Cloud by selecting it, and then clicking  Delete. Keep in mind that deleting the service account from HYCU for Google Cloud does not remove it from Google Cloud and that you cannot delete a service account that is used as the billing account viewer of a HYCU for Google Cloud subscription.
