### Setup access keys

Go to Cloud Storage > Settings > Interoperability ([link](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/settings;tab=interoperability))&#x20;

1. Under Access keys for service accounts, click on Create a key for a service account
2. Click create a new service account:

   3. Role: Storage Object Admin under Cloud Storage
   4. Click "Continue" then "Done"
3. Select **care-bucket-access** and click on create key

### Configure CORS:

1. Activate Cloud Shell
2. Create a file bucket-config.json with the following contents

```json
[
   {
     "origin": ["https://care.ohc.network", "https://care.coronasafe.in"],
     "method": ["GET", "PUT"],
     "responseHeader": ["*"],
     "maxAgeSeconds": 3600
   }
]
```

3. Replace the origin with your deployed frontend URLs
4. Apply config for buckets using gcloud cli

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
gcloud storage buckets update gs://<prefix>-care-facility --cors-file=bucket-config.json
```

{% endcode %}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
gcloud storage buckets update gs://<prefix>-care-patient-data --cors-file=bucket-config.json
```

{% endcode %}
