By using conditional bindings or predefined short-lived credentials through access tokens.

By inheriting policies through the resource hierarchy, starting from the organization level down to individual resources.

The resource inherits the IAM policy from its parent in the resource hierarchy.

Always assign roles with the principle of least privilege and consider using predefined roles where applicable.

The Editor role allows full read/write access to resources except for managing permissions.

A role created by Google with a specific set of permissions tailored to a specific GCP service.

To provide identities for applications, virtual machines, or other services to access GCP resources securely.

A document that specifies bindings of roles to members to control access to resources.

Granting only the minimal permissions necessary for a user or service to perform its task.

Policies are inherited from the organization down to folders, projects, and individual resources.

GCP automatically tracks changes and access attempts via Logs Explorer under Admin Activity and Data Access logs.

The relationship that associates a list of members to a specific role.

They consist of bindings with members and roles, defining access control for resources.

Organization policies control resource behaviors, while IAM policies define permissions and access to resources.

Yes, a single member can be bound to multiple roles, each granting its own set of permissions.

By providing audit logs, conditional access, and granular permission settings to secure and monitor resource access.

If multiple roles or policies grant overlapping or conflicting permissions to the same user.

Basic roles that are Owner, Editor, and Viewer, offering broad access to resources.

User accounts represent individuals, while service accounts represent non-human identities like applications or VMs.

A condition that specifies when a role binding should take effect based on attributes such as time or resource.

It allows users to use a service account to act on behalf of it without managing the account itself directly.

A feature that suggests optimizations and least privilege adjustments for your IAM roles.

To analyze permissions granted to members and recommend adjustments to follow the principle of least privilege.

To provide read-only access to GCP resources.

The Owner role provides extensive permissions that may risk violating the principle of least privilege if overused.

By applying stricter IAM policies at the organization or folder level, which will cascade down to lower resources.

Primitive, predefined, and custom roles.

To create roles that contain fine-grained, specific permissions customized to your organization's needs.

By removing the IAM policy binding for a specific member or role from a resource.

It provides a private key file for applications to authenticate as a service account programmatically.

To centrally manage access control for GCP resources programmatically, including setting and querying IAM policies.

To securely manage access to Cloud resources by defining who has what access using roles and policies.

A collection of permissions that can be assigned to users, groups, or service accounts to control access to resources.

Regularly rotate keys as a security best practice to minimize exposure in case of compromise.

The Owner role has full control over all resources, including the ability to change permissions.

Users, groups, service accounts, or domains.

To allow applications or virtual machines to authenticate securely and access specific resources systematically.

Bindings that apply only under specific conditions, such as time-based access or IP address restrictions for accessing resources.

Predefined roles are created by Google for specific services with a fixed set of permissions while custom roles are created by users to define specific permissions tailored to their needs.
