This page describes the steps to enable and disable SaaS Runtime.

Enabling service

Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

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

Roles required to select or create a project

• Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific IAM role—you can select any project that you've been granted a role on.
• Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant roles.

Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

1. Install and initialize Google Cloud CLI if it is not already installed. For an existing installation, update components of the Google Cloud CLI with the command: gcloud components update.

   To check your version of the gcloud CLI, run the command:

   gcloud version

2. Enable the API from the Google Cloud console or by using gcloud:
   1. In the Google Cloud console, to enable the required APIs, on the Get started tab of the Overview page, click Enable SaaS Runtime APIs.

   2. Using gcloud, to enable the required APIs, run the following command:

      gcloud services enable saasservicemgmt.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable config.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable storage.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable developerconnect.googleapis.com
      gcloud services enable cloudbuild.googleapis.com

      You need to enable all of these APIs because the services are used by SaaS Runtime.

3. To use SaaS Runtime, you also need the correct permissions. See Access control with IAM for more details.
