This page describes how to grant a Google Cloud user account or service account access to AlloyDB resources in a project.
Depending on the scope of control you want the account to have, you grant it one of these predefined IAM roles:
roles/alloydb.admin
(Cloud AlloyDB Admin) to grant full control for all AlloyDB resourcesroles/alloydb.client
(Cloud AlloyDB Client) androles/serviceusage.serviceUsageConsumer
(Service Usage Consumer) to grant connectivity access to AlloyDB instances from clients connecting with the AlloyDB Auth proxyroles/alloydb.databaseUser
(Cloud AlloyDB Database User) to grant database-user authentication to AlloyDB instancesroles/alloydb.viewer
(Cloud AlloyDB Viewer) to grant read-only access to all AlloyDB resources
For detailed information about the specific IAM permissions these roles provide, see Predefined AlloyDB IAM roles.
Before you begin
- The Google Cloud project you are using must have been enabled to access AlloyDB.
- You must have the
roles/owner
(Owner) basic IAM role in the Google Cloud project you are using, or a role that grants these permissions:resourcemanager.projects.get
resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy
resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy
To gain these permissions while following the principle of least privilege, ask your administrator to grant you the
roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin
(Project IAM Admin) role. -
Enable the Cloud Resource Manager API in the Google Cloud project you are using.
Procedure
Console
- In the Google Cloud console, go to the IAM page.
- Select the project enabled to access AlloyDB.
- Select a principal (user or service account) to grant access to:
- To grant a role to a principal who already has other roles on the project, find the row containing the principal's email address, click Edit principal in that row, and click Add another role.
- To grant a role to a principal who does not already have other roles on the project, click Add, then enter the principal's email address.
- From the drop-down list, select one of these roles:
- Cloud AlloyDB Admin
- Cloud AlloyDB Viewer
- Cloud AlloyDB Client and Service Usage Consumer
- Cloud AlloyDB Database User
- Click Save. The principal is granted the role.
