Before you begin

This page describes the basic start-up tasks that you must complete before using Agentspace.

Create a project

To create a Google Cloud project for your Agentspace apps and data stores, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

  2. Check whether billing is enabled on your Google Cloud project.

  3. If you plan to use the API, install and initialize the Google Cloud CLI.

Access control

You can configure access control for Agentspace at the project level. To grant access to Agentspace using the console, grant the Discovery Engine Admin role to a principal for the project that contains the Agentspace engine.

To grant access to Agentspace, follow the instructions at Grant a single role in the IAM documentation using the following guidance:

  • In step 2, select a project.
  • In step 4, when selecting a role, enter Discovery Engine in the filter and then click Discovery Engine Admin.

If you are an owner of the project, you automatically have the Discovery Engine Admin role for that project.

To grant access to Agentspace for other users, groups, and service accounts, see Access control with IAM.

If you are using the API, see Set up authentication on Google Cloud for authentication and access control.
