# Set up a Google Identity Platform connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Google Identity Platform. Integrate your Google Identity Platform instance with C1 to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

## Gather Google Identity Platform credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Google Identity Platform. Gather these credentials before you move on.

<Warning>
  A user with the **Super Admin** role in Google Identity Platform must perform this task.
</Warning>

### Create a new project

<Steps>
  <Step>
    As a Google Identity Platform Super Admin, sign in to [https://console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the toolbar, click the project select dropdown, and click **NEW PROJECT**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Create a new project for your organization:

    * **Project Name**: Choose a names, such as "C1 Integration"
    * **Organization/Location**: Choose the appropriate Organization/Location
  </Step>

  <Step>
    After the project is created, make sure the correct project is selected in the dropdown at the top.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Enable the API

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In the navigation menu, navigate to > **APIs & Services** > **Library**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Search for and select the Identity Toolkit API.
  </Step>

  <Step>

  </Step>

  <Step>
    Under **Service account details**, fill in the following:

    * **Service account name:** C1 Integration
    * **Service account description:** for example, "Service account for C1 Google Identity Platform integration"
    * Click **CREATE AND CONTINUE**
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Under **Grant this service account access to a project**, grant the **Identity Toolkit Viewer** role.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Leave **Grant users access to this service account** blank.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **DONE**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Get credentials

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate back to **APIs & Services** > **Credentials** and select the service account you just created.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Service Account Details Page**, click **KEYS**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **ADD KEY** > **Create new key**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Choose **JSON** and click **CREATE**. The newly created key is automatically downloaded.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Keep the downloaded file safe, you'll use it to set up the connector.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Done.** Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

## Configure the Google Identity Platform connector

<Warning>
  To complete this task, you'll need:

  * The **Connector Administrator** or **Super Administrator** role in C1
  * Access to the set of Google Identity Platform credentials generated by following the instructions above
</Warning>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Google Identity Platform** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Google Identity Platform connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)

        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Find the **Settings** area of the page and click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Credentials (JSON)** area, click **Choose file** and upload the JSON file.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Save**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        The connector's label changes to **Syncing**, followed by **Connected**. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Google Identity Platform connector is now pulling access data into C1.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use the Google Identity Platform connector, hosted and run in your own environment.**

    When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

    ### Step 1: Set up a new Google Identity Platform connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** > **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Baton** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Google Identity Platform connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)

        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Settings** area of the page, click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Rotate** to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

        Carefully copy and save these credentials. We'll use them in Step 2.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

    Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Google Identity Platform connector deployment:

    #### Secrets configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-google-identity-platform-secrets.yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: baton-google-identity-platform-secrets
    type: Opaque
    data:
      # C1 credentials
      BATON_CLIENT_ID: <base64 encoded C1 client ID>
      BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <base64 encoded C1 client secret>
      
      # Google Identity Platform credentials
      BATON_CUSTOMER_ID: <base64 encoded customer ID>
      BATON_DOMAIN: <base64 encoded domain>
      BATON_ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL: <base64 encoded administrator email>
      BATON_CREDENTIALS_JSON: <base64 encoded credentials JSON>
    ```

    **Base64 Encoding:** Use `echo -n "your-value" | base64` to encode your secrets,

    See the connector's README or run `--help` to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-google-identity-platform.yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: baton-google-identity-platform
      labels:
        app: baton-google-identity-platform
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: baton-google-identity-platform
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: baton-google-identity-platform
            baton: true
            baton-app: google-identity-platform
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: baton-google-identity-platform
            image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-google-identity-platform:latest
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            env:
            - name: BATON_HOST_ID
              value: baton-google-identity-platform
            envFrom:
            - secretRef:
                name: baton-google-identity-platform-secrets
    ```

    ### Step 3: Deploy the connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click **Apps**. On the **Managed apps** tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Google Identity Platform connector to. Google Identity Platform data should be found on the **Entitlements** and **Accounts** tabs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Google Identity Platform connector is now pulling access data into C1.
