# Getting started with just-in-time access in Google Cloud Platform

> Follow this guide to get started with just-in-time (JIT) access to your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources.

## Before you begin

To complete this guide, you'll need:

* C1 **Connector Administrator** role or **Super Administrator** role
* A Google Cloud Platform account
* Ability to set up a service account in GCP

**Estimated time:** 30 minutes

## Step 1: Integrate your GCP instance

Start by integrating your GCP instance with C1 by following the instructions in [Google Workspace & Google Cloud Platform](/baton/google-cloud-platform).

Once connected, C1 ingests all of the projects, resources, and entitlements for Google Cloud. This includes projects and roles. You can see all the resources and entitlements by navigating to **Apps** > **Google Cloud Platform** and clicking **Entitlements**.

## Step 2: Configure GCP projects for JIT access

Now that GCP is hooked up to C1, set GCP projects and roles as available for just-in-time access. To do this, we'll configure entitlement management rules for each of the GCP projects.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate to the **Apps** page, then click the **Google Cloud** application created in Step 1.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Entitlement management** section, click **Edit** next to **Default config rules**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the configuration rules pane, click the toggle to **Enable configuration rules**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select the **Project** resource type.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Access profiles** field, search for and select an access profile. For example, select **Everyone** to make the entitlements requestable by all users.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Finally, check the box at the bottom of the screen and click **Apply**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The new settings are applied, and a summary of the configuration is shown in the **Entitlement management** section of the page.

<Tip>
  **Don’t worry,**

  you can change who can request access, for how long, and the policy for approving access later.
</Tip>

## Step 3: Request JIT access

Let's go request GCP JIT access!

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click **Requests** and make sure that **App catalog** is selected.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Google Cloud Platform**. A panel opens with the projects available for you to request.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click on the project you want to request, then click **Request**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the justification and click **Request**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Success!

The request policy routes the request through the approval process. The new access will be automatically provisioned by the GCP connector, and then automatically removed upon expiration.
