Configure access to a sink: Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage uses a service agent to move data to a Cloud Storage bucket. This service agent is created the first time that you call googleServiceAccounts.get.

The destination bucket does not need to belong to the same project as the service agent. The steps are the same regardless of which project the bucket is in.

User permissions

In order to grant the required permissions to the service agent, you must have the relevant permissions on the destination bucket:

  • storage.buckets.getIamPolicy
  • storage.buckets.setIamPolicy

The Storage Legacy Bucket Owner role (roles/storage.legacyBucketOwner) or the Storage Admin role (roles/storage.admin) provide the required permissions.

Auto-granting permissions in the Google Cloud console

If you're using the Google Cloud console to create your transfer and have the permissions listed in User permissions, the service agent will automatically be granted the required permissions on your destination bucket.
