This guide walks you through creating an HMAC Access Key and Secret and gathering the configuration needed to create a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) integration.

Create an HMAC Access Key and Secret

Before you begin, make sure you have set up a Cloud Storage bucket. You will need to save the bucket name to assign permissions.

1. Create a Service Account

Once logged in to the Google Cloud Console, navigate to the IAM & Admin section. Click Service Accounts.

Click Create Service Account.

Fill in a name and id for the service account. Under Grant this service account access to project, click "Select a role" and choose Cloud Storage > Storage Folder Admin. Select Add IAM Condition and use the condition builder to restrict access to the bucket you want to use. Click Save.

Click Done to create the service account.

2. Create an HMAC Key

Navigate to the Cloud Storage Settings page. Select the Interoperability tab, and click on Create a key for a service account.

Select the service account you created in step 1 and click Create key.

Save the Access ID and Secret to a secure location.

For more details, see Google's HMAC key documentation.
