I haven't tried using a backend like tfstate, but I would say that you will need credentials since you are going to create files in the bucket.

My operator has a service account setup for workload identity so it can create the gcp resources! I've specified the backend as a gcs bucket and I'm trying to do self hosted. However I'm running into an issue where it's asking for a pulumi access token. I was wondering if its possible to do so without given that I want to host it on my own

here you have the pulumi connector: <https://github.com/pulumi/actions>. Add in the previous step the gcp credentials
