Prerequisites for onboarding GCP

Before you begin onboarding GCP, you must review the following prerequisites.

Permissions

Before you begin to onboard GCP to Cortex XSIAM, ensure that you have the necessary permissions:

• In Cortex XSIAM, you must have a Cortex XSIAM role with Data Sources - View & Edit permissions (to add/configure cloud accounts in Cortex XSIAM). This role is included in the following built-in roles: Instance Administrator, Security Admin, and IT Admin.

• In GCP, you must have access to Google Cloud console and an admin user with the required GCP permissions.

Required APIs

Ensure you have enabled the required APIs in the GCP project you are onboarding.
