Spectrum Access System has been deprecated

Spectrum Access System has been deprecated. We are exiting this business to focus our engineering efforts on high-impact innovation that will better serve the needs of our Google Cloud customers. To allow time for migration to other SAS solutions, Spectrum Access System continues to operate until June 10, 2027.

Migrating from Spectrum Access System to another SAS solution

To migrate from Spectrum Access System to another SAS solution, use SAS Portal API. If you don't have access to the SAS Portal API, complete the steps in this section to gain access.

Pre-requisites

Before you can gain access to the SAS Portal API, you must have the following:

  • Access to a Google Cloud project.
  • Access to Google Cloud CLI.
  • Access to the SAS Portal.

Obtaining access to the SAS Portal API

To obtain access to the SAS Portal API, you must do the following:

  1. Enable the SAS Portal API in the target Google Cloud project.

  2. Configure a service account:

    1. Create the service account.

    2. Grant the Owner role to the service account.

    3. Generate keys for the service account.

  3. Add the service account email as an administrator in the SAS Portal.

  4. Activate the service account using gcloud CLI.

  5. Obtain the access token.

  6. Test your configuration.

Complete the steps in this section to configure access to the SAS Portal API:

  1. Access the Google Cloud console and select your target Google Cloud project.

  2. Enable the required APIs:

    1. Navigate to the Enabled APIs & services page.
