GCP Secret Manager

How to sync secrets from Infisical to GCP Secret Manager

• Usage
• Self-Hosted Setup

Connect with OAuth2

Prerequisites:

• Set up and add envars to Infisical Cloud

1

Authorize Infisical for GCP

Navigate to your project’s integrations tab in Infisical.

Press on the GCP Secret Manager tile and select Continue with OAuth

Grant Infisical access to GCP.

If this is your project’s first cloud integration, then you’ll have to grant Infisical access to your project’s environment variables. Although this step breaks E2EE, it’s necessary for Infisical to sync the environment variables to the cloud platform.

2

Start integration

In the Connection tab, select which Infisical environment secrets you want to sync to which GCP secret manager project. Lastly, press create integration to start syncing secrets to GCP secret manager.

Note that the GCP Secret Manager integration supports a few options in the Options tab:

• Secret Prefix: If inputted, the prefix is appended to the front of every secret name prior to being synced.
• Secret Suffix: If inputted, the suffix to appended to the back of every name of every secret prior to being synced.
• Label in GCP Secret Manager: If selected, every secret will be labeled in GCP Secret Manager (e.g. as managed-by:infisical); labels can be customized.

Setting a secret prefix, suffix, or enabling the labeling option ensures that existing secrets in GCP Secret Manager are not overwritten during the sync. As part of this process, Infisical abstains from mutating any secrets in GCP Secret Manager without the specified prefix, suffix, or attached label.

Using Infisical to sync secrets to GCP Secret Manager requires that you enable the Service Usage API and Cloud Resource Manager API in the Google Cloud project you want to sync secrets to. More on that here.

Connect with Service Account JSON

Prerequisites:

• Set up and add envars to Infisical Cloud
• Have a GCP project and have/create a service account in it

1

Authorize Infisical for GCP

Navigate to IAM & Admin page in GCP and add the Secret Manager Admin and Service Usage Admin roles to the service account.

For enhanced security, you may want to assign more granular permissions to the service account. At minimum, the service account should be able to read/write secrets from/to GCP Secret Manager (e.g. Secret Manager Admin role) and list which GCP services are enabled/disabled (e.g. Service Usage Admin role).

Navigate to your project’s integrations tab in Infisical.

Press on the GCP Secret Manager tile and paste in your GCP Service Account JSON (you can create and download the JSON for your service account in IAM & Admin > Service Accounts > Service Account > Keys).

If this is your project’s first cloud integration, then you’ll have to grant Infisical access to your project’s environment variables. Although this step breaks E2EE, it’s necessary for Infisical to sync the environment variables to the cloud platform.
