Required roles and permissions

To get the permissions that you need to export and import a custom connector, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles:

• Storage Object Admin (roles/storage.objectAdmin) on the Cloud Storage bucket
• Security Admin (roles/iam.securityAdmin) on the project in which the secret is present. Alternatively, you can also ask your administrator to grant you or the service account, the secretmanager.secrets.getIamPolicy and secretmanager.secrets.setIamPolicy permissions on the project in which the secret is present.

For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

• Connector with the same name exists but the same version doesn't exist: The Create version page for that connector appears. Connector properties like connector type, name, description are prefilled from the existing connector and are not overwritten from the imported JSON. However, the connector version details and name are read from the imported JSON. Only the version name can be edited.
• Connector with the same name and version exists: A warning message appears stating that the version already exists and a new version will be used when you import the JSON specification. If you click Import, the Create version page for that connector appears. Connector properties like the connector type, name, description are prefilled from the existing connector and are not overwritten by the imported JSON. However, the version details are read from the imported JSON and can be edited. The latest available version number is used for the version name.
