Google Cloud Secret Manager is supported from Bruno v4.1.0 and later.
Google Cloud Secret Manager is a secure service for storing API keys, credentials, and other sensitive values in Google Cloud. Bruno integrates with Google Cloud Secret Manager the same way it does with HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault. Configure an account once in Preferences, attach it to a collection environment, then fetch and resolve secrets in requests, scripts, and environments.
This guide covers:

​
What you can do

  • Select GCP Secrets Manager as a secret provider in Bruno.
  • Authenticate with a GCP service account key - upload or paste the JSON key, or enter the Client Email and Private Key manually.
  • Use the service account key’s project as the default, and override the project per environment row so one service account can fetch from multiple GCP projects.
  • Fetch all secrets in the selected project(s) and resolve them in requests, scripts, and environments like the other providers. JSON secret values are accessible by sub-key.
  • Use the same flow in the desktop app and the CLI.

Future improvements

The following are not supported currently:
  • Application Default Credentials, gcloud CLI login, and Workload Identity Federation
  • Per-secret version pinning - secrets are always fetched at their latest version
The service account needs permission to list secrets in the project and access secret versions (for example, the Secret Manager Secret Accessor and Secret Manager Viewer roles, or equivalent custom permissions).
