Before you begin

• You have created and installed an Edge site.

Required permissions

• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.
• You need a Google Cloud Platform Service Account that can read the Google Cloud Storage (GCS) file system that you want to integrate. This means the Service Account must have the permissions to list buckets (storage.buckets.list) and objects in a bucket (storage.objects.list). For information on GCP, go to the Google documentation.
• If you use Dataplex, the Service Account must be able to detect file schemas in GCS resources from Dataplex. This means the Service Account must have the following permissions dataplex.*.get and dataplex.*.list, for example, via the Dataplex Viewer role. For information on GCP service account, go to the Google documentation. For information on Dataplex roles, go to the Google documentation.
