What TierZero Accesses

  • Cloud resource metadata: Project and resource configurations
  • Monitoring data: See GCP Cloud Monitoring for detailed metrics and logs access

Security

  • TierZero uses service account impersonation with minimal permissions
  • Credentials are encrypted at rest
  • Revoke access by deleting the service account or removing its key

Troubleshooting

Permission Errors

  • Verify the service account has the required roles
  • Check that the service account key has not been rotated or deleted
