Kron PAM imports GCP instances based on their tags. If a GCP instance is to be imported into Kron PAM, that instance must have all the tags specified in at least one device group. To create a group with GCP tags:

1. Navigate to** Devices > Inventory.**
2. Create a new Device Group, or use an existing **Device Group.**
3. Select a** Device Group**, and click the** Options **button.
4. Set the GCP tag property that matches the devices to be imported. 
5. The tag property keys are automatically created in Kron PAM once the **GCP Device Import **job runs. The keys are retrieved from the **Labels** field of the GCP instance details.

- Tag values can be written in regex format.

  When importing devices from cloud platforms, the Management IP is set according to the values of the “**tag.DiscoverInterfaceType**” property defined in the device group. The property can be set as **public** or **private**. The default value is **private**.
