Hi ​@josephlin,

I suspect we already support this. Would you be able to try using the Application Default Credentials option?

I’ll paste the message I got from our developer:

Application Default Credentials: Automatically authenticate based on the system environment. This will attempt to resolve credentials using the following sources, in order:
  • The credential file pointed to by the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

According to the Google Cloud docs https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials#GAC, the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable supports "A credential configuration file for Workload Identity Federation".
 
Let me know if that doesn’t work for you please
