Credentials in a File

You can configure a Google Cloud stage to use credentials in a Google Cloud service account credentials JSON file.

Complete the following steps to use credentials in a file:

1. Generate a service account credentials file in JSON format.

   Use the Google Cloud Platform Console or the gcloud command-line tool to generate and download the credentials file. For more information, see Generating a service account credential in the Google Cloud Platform documentation.

2. Store the generated credentials file on the Data Collector machine.

   As a best practice, store the file in the Data Collector resources directory, $SDC_RESOURCES.

3. On the Credentials tab for the stage, for the Credential Provider property, select Service Account Credentials File. Then, enter the path to the credentials file.
