If this is your first time, you'll be prompted to authenticate using your Google credentials, make sure you're doing so with a user that have access to your GKE projects.

Make sure that your cluster has basic authentication enabled. You can change this setting after cluster creation

by selecting`EDIT` on the top nav-bar within your cluster. This will allow you to edit the`Basic authentication` section under`Security`.

For GKE cluster versions >=1.19 basic authentication is deprecated. You can add the GKE cluster manually by using the custom Kubernetes integration option instead.
