This page describes how to create project templates in Application Integration. Project templates are project-level resources and are created and managed by the project owner. Only the project owner can create, modify, and delete these project templates.

Required role

To get the permission that you need to create templates, ask your administrator to grant you theApplication Integration Editor (roles/integrations.integrationEditor) IAM role on the project. For more information about granting roles, seeManage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the integrations.templates.create permission, which is required to create templates.

You might also be able to get this permission withcustom roles or otherpredefined roles.
