MidPoint Connector for Google Cloud Platform: Simplify Identity Management

More and more companies are using hybrid cloud environments, where Google Workspace users need access to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources. Managing permissions across different systems can be complex, risky, and time-consuming.

To solve this, our CTO Sebastián Gonzalez Oyuela developed a MidPoint connector that integrates MidPoint’s identity management directly with GCP.

Why use the connector?

• Centralized permission management
  Manage all GCP permissions through MidPoint, without manually using Google Cloud Console.
• Google Workspace integration
  Assign GCP permissions directly to Workspace users and groups, without creating separate accounts.
• Full roles and permissions support
  Handle standard and custom roles at the project or organization level, always automatically synchronized.
• Service account control
  Manage service account and human user permissions in one place.
• Policy caching and backup
  Boost performance for frequently accessed policies, with audit trails and recovery options.

How it works

The connector automatically updates GCP IAM policies when you assign or remove roles in MidPoint. It also keeps your system synchronized with new roles or organizational changes.

Getting started

You need a GCP service account with the proper IAM permissions and your project linked to a Google Workspace domain. Setup follows standard MidPoint connector procedures, making integration straightforward.
