GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

While reviewing a project's IAM policy, you see that a non-human service account has been granted the basic Owner role so it can create and manage Cloud Storage buckets for a data-ingest job. The security lead asks why this assignment should be replaced with a more specific predefined role. Which statement best explains the risk of keeping the Owner assignment?

  • The Owner role allows the service account to manage IAM policies and billing settings across the entire project, far exceeding the permissions required for bucket creation.

  • The Owner role does not include storage.buckets.create, so the service account still cannot create buckets, making the assignment ineffective.

  • Basic roles such as Owner automatically downgrade to Viewer after 30 days of inactivity, so the access would eventually be lost.

  • Owner permissions apply only to Cloud Storage resources, so granting it is redundant but otherwise harmless to other services.
