Configure bucket access

The service account performing file read requests needs the following permissions:

• Storage Legacy Bucket Reader
• Storage Object Viewer
• Storage Object Admin

To add the service account to your bucket, follow Google's guide on Adding a member to a bucket-level policy.

If your GCS bucket is protected by VPC Service Controls or other GCP network restrictions, contact Bloomreach Support for the Bloomreach project and network details needed to configure access.
