June 24, 2026

Security

For GitLab Enterprise and Bitbucket Data Center connections, Cloud Build now checks permissions on the calling principal.

When you create or update repository connections, Cloud Build uses Secret Manager secrets to authenticate to third-party Git providers. Previously, these referenced secrets were retrieved by the Cloud Build service agent (P4SA) on your behalf, checking permissions only against the P4SA's credentials rather than those of the calling principal. To adhere to the security principle of least privilege, Cloud Build now checks permissions on both the calling principal (using end-user credentials) and the P4SA, to ensure both have the secretmanager.versions.access IAM permission on the referenced secrets.

This check only affects GitLab Enterprise (GLE) and Bitbucket Data Center (BBDC) connections.

For instructions and more details, see the Cloud Build security bulletin.

Change

The Service Account User role has been removed from the Cloud Build Permissions page in the Google Cloud Console. Instead, when you enable certain roles on your Cloud Build service account, you can configure your Cloud Build Service account to impersonate the service account of the managed services related to those roles. This configuration lets you deploy builds using managed services while maintaining minimal permissions. For more information, see Configure Cloud Build service account impersonation for managed services.

In addition, the Cloud Build Permissions page in the Google Cloud Console will only show the legacy Cloud Build service account if your organization's policy allows it.
