You can create a WIF configuration using the `auto` mode or the `manual` mode in the `ocm` CLI.

The `auto` mode enables you to automatically create the service accounts for {product-title} components as well as other IAM resources.

[IMPORTANT]
=====
Using a dedicated project to create and manage workload identity pools and providers is recommended by {GCP}.
Using a dedicated project helps you to establish centralized governance over the configuration of workload identity pools and providers, enforce uniform attribute mappings and conditions throughout all projects and applications, and ensure that only authorized identity providers can authenticate with WIF.

Creating and managing workload identity pools and providers in a dedicated project is only allowed during initial WIF configuration creation. The `--federated-project` flag cannot be applied to existing `wif-configs`.

For more information, see link:https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/best-practices-for-using-workload-identity-federation#dedicated-project[Use a dedicated project to manage workload identity pools and providers].

= Updating a Workforce Identity Federation configuration

[role="_abstract"]
You can update an existing Workload Identity Federation (WIF) configuration to support newer {product-title} y-stream versions and to align with the latest security best practices.

[NOTE]
====
Updating a WIF configuration is only applicable for y-stream updates. For an overview of the update process, including details regarding version semantics, see link:https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-openshift-release-and-upgrade-process-for-cluster-administrators#:~:text=Ongoing%20security%20patches%20and%20bug,is%20the%20dark%20green%20bar.[The Ultimate Guide to OpenShift Release and Upgrade Process for Cluster Administrators].
====
Before upgrading a WIF-enabled {product-title} cluster to a newer version, you must update the wif-config to that version as well. If you do not update the wif-config version before attempting to upgrade the cluster version, the cluster version upgrade will fail.

As part of Red{nbsp}Hat's ongoing commitment to the principle of least privilege, certain permissions previously assigned to the `osd-deployer` service account in WIF configurations have been removed. These changes help enhance the security of your clusters by ensuring that service accounts have only the permissions they need to perform their functions.

For the complete list of WIF configuration roles and their assigned permissions, see link:https://github.com/openshift/managed-cluster-config/blob/master/resources/wif/4.19/vanilla.yaml[managed-cluster-config].

To align your existing WIF configurations with these updated permissions, you can run the `ocm gcp update wif-config` command. This command updates the WIF configuration to include the latest permissions and roles required for optimal operation.

When you update a wif-config or create a new one, ensure your {cluster-manager} CLI (`ocm`) is up to date. Not updating to the latest version of the `ocm` can result in error messages and service disruptions.

[id="workload-identity-federation-overview_{context}"]
= Workload Identity Federation overview

[role="_abstract"]
Workload Identity Federation (WIF) is a {GCP} Identity and Access Management (IAM) feature that provides third parties a secure method to access resources on a customer's cloud account. WIF eliminates the need for service account keys, and is {gcp-full}'s preferred method of credential authentication.

While service account keys can provide powerful access to your {gcp-full} resources, they must be maintained by the user and can be a security risk if they are not managed properly. WIF does not use service keys as an access method for your Google cloud resources. Instead, WIF grants access by using credentials from external identity providers to generate short-lived credentials for workloads. The workloads can then use these credentials to temporarily impersonate service accounts and access {gcp-full} resources. This removes the burden of having to properly maintain service account keys, and removes the risk of unauthorized users gaining access to service account keys.

= Removing stale deployer permissions from service accounts managed by a WIF configuration

[role="_abstract"]
To remove the stale deployer permissions from service accounts managed by a WIF configuration, run the following commands on a terminal with access to the {gcp-full} project hosting the service accounts.

.Procedure

. Retrieve the existing role definition, ensuring the `PROJECT_ID` environment variable points to your {gcp-full} project:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ gcloud iam roles describe \
osd_deployer_v4.18 \
--project $PROJECT_ID \
--format=yaml > /tmp/role.yaml
----
+
. Remove the unwanted permissions. You can do this by filtering out the unwanted permissions from the role definition file and saving the updated definition to a new file:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ cat /tmp/role.yaml | \
grep -v "resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy" | \
grep -v "iam.serviceAccounts.signBlob" | \
grep -v "iam.serviceAccounts.actAs" > /tmp/updated_role.yaml
----
+
. Review the changes in the output between the original and updated role definitions to ensure only the unwanted permissions have been removed:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ diff /tmp/role.yaml /tmp/updated_role.yaml
----
+
. Update the role in {gcp-full} with the updated role definition file, ensuring the `PROJECT_ID` environment variable points to your {gcp-full} project:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ gcloud iam roles update \
osd_deployer_v4.18 \
--project=$PROJECT_ID \
