A contractor needs to create and modify Compute Engine instances in an existing Google Cloud project. You must ensure they cannot grant other people access, remove the project owner, or change the billing account. Which IAM role should you avoid giving the contractor because it would let them perform those administrative tasks?
The Owner basic role (roles/owner) inherits all Editor permissions and adds powerful administrative abilities, including resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy (changing IAM bindings) and billing administration for the project. Assigning this role would let the contractor change who has access or alter billing, which violates the requirement. Editor, Viewer, and the predefined Compute Admin role do not include permission to modify IAM policies or billing, so they would preserve the necessary restrictions.
