To define a new credential, click the Create New button from the list. The following information is required.

• Credential name: An user-defined name for the credential.

• Service account ID: Service account ID of the Google Cloud Storage.

• Service account key file: The JSON file for service account authentication.

Credentials must not contain blank spaces or other special characters. For instructions about creating a credential, see Adding a Credential to Credential Manager.

Bucket

Click the Detect button to detect an existing bucket.

Sometimes, existing bucket list may not get populated while detecting the buckets, as some vendors may not support this operation, or if there are no permissions to complete the operation. In such cases, type the name of the existing bucket that you want to use. The system will automatically use the existing bucket if it is available.

The following permissions must be enabled for the bucket:

storage.buckets.create
storage.buckets.delete
storage.buckets.get
storage.buckets.getIamPolicy
storage.buckets.list
storage.buckets.setIamPolicy
storage.buckets.update
storage.objects.create
storage.objects.delete
storage.objects.list
