This page describes Developer Connect account connectors. Platform
administrators can use the information in this document to learn key concepts
and decide when to use this type of connection.
Introduction
An account connector is a Developer Connect feature that helps you connect
your Google Cloud account with your individual account on an
non-Google Developer Tools provider. Users can specify the type of data to be
accessed by the account connector by selecting the appropriate scope for that
connector. Once an account connector connection is created for an organization,
users within that organization can use that connection to authorize their
individual accounts to be used with that connection.
For example, a platform administrator can create an account connector connection
for their organization to use Gemini Code Assist tools with Sentry and
specify what type of data should be accessed by defining the appropriate scope.
Then, application developers in that organization can use this connection while
using Gemini Code Assist to authorize their individual Google Accounts
to use their individual Sentry user account.
In most cases, platform administrators configure account connectors within a
Google Cloud service that integrates with Developer Connect, by following
prompts and pop-ups without leaving their context. For example, a platform
administrator can configure a Sentry account connector within the
Gemini Code Assist tools UI. Similarly, individual users can
authorize Gemini Code Assist tools within the context of the
integrating Google Cloud service where they want to use it.
However, you can also use the Developer Connect UI to create and manage
account connectors. This flow might be advantageous for platform administrators
who have many Developer Connect integrations and want to manage them all
in one place.
