GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question
Your organization has hundreds of Google Cloud projects under a single Organization node. Corporate security analysts must be able to inventory and inspect the configuration details of every existing and future Compute Engine VM instance across the environment. They must not have permission to modify any resources, view non-Compute services, or access billing information. Which IAM design best meets these requirements while enforcing the principle of least privilege?
Grant the security analysts' group roles/compute.viewer on each existing project and instruct project owners to add the binding when new projects are created.
Bind the predefined role roles/compute.admin to the security analysts' group at the Folder level that currently contains all projects.
Bind the predefined role roles/viewer to the security analysts' group at the Organization level.
Bind the predefined role roles/compute.viewer to the security analysts' group at the Organization level.
The Compute Viewer role (roles/compute.viewer) grants read-only permissions limited to Compute Engine resources such as instances, disks, and images. Binding this role to the security analysts' group at the Organization node means the permission set automatically propagates to every current and future project, eliminating gaps caused by projects created later. Granting Viewer, Owner, or Compute Admin roles would either expose broader services or confer modification privileges, violating least-privilege intentions. Granting roles on individual projects would satisfy the scope today but would require continuous manual updates and would miss newly created projects, creating operational risk and unnecessary complexity.
