Example Usage from GitHub

main.tf#L3
resource "google_iam_workload_identity_pool" "iam_identity_pool" {
  provider = google-beta
  workload_identity_pool_id = var.identity_pool_id
  display_name = var.identity_pool_display_name
  description = var.identity_pool_description
  disabled = true
main.tf#L1
resource "google_iam_workload_identity_pool" "gh_pool" {
  project                   = var.project_id
  provider                  = google-beta
  workload_identity_pool_id = "gh-pool"
}

workload-identity-pool.tf#L1
resource "google_iam_workload_identity_pool" "employee" {

Parameters

The following arguments are supported:

  • workload_identity_pool_id - (Required) The ID to use for the pool, which becomes the final component of the resource name. This value should be 4-32 characters, and may contain the characters [a-z0-9-]. The prefix gcp- is reserved for use by Google, and may not be specified.

  • display_name - (Optional) A display name for the pool. Cannot exceed 32 characters.

  • description - (Optional) A description of the pool. Cannot exceed 256 characters.

  • disabled - (Optional) Whether the pool is disabled. You cannot use a disabled pool to exchange tokens, or use existing tokens to access resources. If the pool is re-enabled, existing tokens grant access again.

  • project - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

  • id - an identifier for the resource with format projects/[[project]]/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/[[workload_identity_pool_id]]

  • state - The state of the pool.

    • STATE_UNSPECIFIED: State unspecified.
    • ACTIVE: The pool is active, and may be used in Google Cloud policies.
    • DELETED: The pool is soft-deleted. Soft-deleted pools are permanently deleted after approximately 30 days. You can restore a soft-deleted pool using UndeleteWorkloadIdentityPool. You cannot reuse the ID of a soft-deleted pool until it is permanently deleted. While a pool is deleted, you cannot use it to exchange tokens, or use existing tokens to access resources. If the pool is undeleted, existing tokens grant access again.
  • name - The resource name of the pool as projects/[project_number]/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/[workload_identity_pool_id].

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Represents a collection of external workload identities. You can define IAM policies to grant these identities access to Google Cloud resources.
