With Google\u2019s IAM, you manage access control \u201cby defining\u00a0<em>who<\/em>\u00a0(identity) has\u00a0<em>what access<\/em>\u00a0(role) for\u00a0<em>which resource.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First, the identity. These can be individual user Google accounts or G Suite accounts which have access to the project, or a service account that can be used to give <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication access, or an entire Google group. These different types of users will all have different ways of accessing GCP resources, but permissions are handled the same.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple permissions are grouped into \u201cRoles,\u201d which are granted to specific users. Unlike AWS, roles don\u2019t give granular access to any particular resource. Instead, Roles are <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> things that can be applied to multiple resources, like \u201cInstance Admin,\u201d \u201cViewer,\u201d or \u201cEditor.\u201d If attached to the user, it will give project-wide permissions for all resources in the account. If attached to an individual resource, it will give permissions for that resource.<\/p>\n<p>Roles and Identities are linked together in an IAM Policy, which enforces which roles are granted to which identities. IAM Policies are attached directly to instances, not defined in the IAM Console.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/28e6a5bb6d454a11bb734951fb86d0e8\/p\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95568150.png\" alt=\"GCP permissions\" width=\"700\" height=\"358\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>What you end up with is a system where you can simply add people to individual resources, like Compute Engine instances, and give them specific roles that allow them access to the given resource.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/32699f2b9489afd8f05fcb39e22e5e05\/p\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7449bb5f.png\" alt=\"manage roles for compute engine\" width=\"700\" height=\"313\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Because of this, granular permissions are handled at the resource level in that resources settings.
