# Workload Identity Pools

The **Workload Identity Pools** page provides a list of enumerated Workload Identity Pools in GCP. Workload Identity Pools let organizations grant workload (non-human, e.g., external service or CI/CD) identities access to Google Cloud resources without exporting service account keys.
