Add a New Project Credential

The following steps will help you get started on enabling Advanced Features for a project. You will be required to run a script within your gcloud shell. This script provisions Cloudability's Service Account with the permissions necessary to support Advanced Features.

1. An 'x' in a project's details pane indicates that Advanced Features have not been enabled.

2. To enable Advanced Features for a GCP project, go to Vendor Credentials, select the GCP tab, and click on the edit icon for a specific project.

3. Click on Download Script.

4. Select Keep if your browser prompts you with a warning when downloading the shell script

Run Script

To run the script, please refer to the Run Script section of the Setup Overview Guide - Billing.

Verify Credentials

1. Click Verify Credentials and look for the checkmark.

2. Click on Details to verify that the project has the necessary permissions for Advanced Features.
