Policy

An Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy, which specifies access controls for Google Cloud resources.

A Policy is a collection of bindings. A binding binds one or more members to a single role. Members can be user accounts, service accounts, Google groups, and domains (such as G Suite). A role is a named list of permissions; each role can be an IAM predefined role or a user-created custom role.

Optionally, a binding can specify a condition, which is a logical expression that allows access to a resource only if the expression evaluates to true. A condition can add constraints based on attributes of the request, the resource, or both.

JSON example:

{
  "bindings": [
    {
      "role": "roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin",
      "members": [
        "user:[e-mail]",
        "group:[e-mail]",
        "domain:google.com",
        "serviceAccount:[e-mail]"
      ]
    },
    {
      "role": "roles/resourcemanager.organizationViewer",
      "members": ["user:[e-mail]"],
      "condition": {
        "title": "expirable access",
        "description": "Does not grant access after Sep 2020",
        "expression": "request.time < timestamp('2020-10-01T00:00:00.000Z')",
      }
    }
  ],
  "etag": "BwWWja0YfJA=",
  "version": 3
}

YAML example:

bindings:
- members:
  - user:[e-mail]
  - group:[e-mail]
  - domain:google.com
  - serviceAccount:[e-mail]
  role: roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin
- members:
  - user:[e-mail]
  role: roles/resourcemanager.organizationViewer
  condition:
    title: expirable access
    description: Does not grant access after Sep 2020
    expression: request.time < timestamp('2020-10-01T00:00:00.000Z')
- etag: BwWWja0YfJA=
- version: 3

For a description of IAM and its features, see the IAM documentation.

JSON representation
{ "version": integer, "bindings": [ { object (Binding) } ], "auditConfigs": [ { object (AuditConfig) } ], "etag": string }

Fields
version	integer Specifies the format of the policy. Valid values are 0, 1, and 3. Requests that specify an invalid value are rejected. Any operation that affects conditional role bindings must specify version 3. This requirement applies to the following operations: Getting a policy that includes a conditional role binding Adding a conditional role binding to a policy Changing a conditional role binding in a policy Removing any role binding, with or without a condition, from a policy that includes conditions Important: If you use IAM Conditions, you must include the etag field whenever you call setIamPolicy. If you omit this field, then IAM allows you to overwrite a version 3 policy with a version 1 policy, and all of the conditions in the version 3 policy are lost. If a policy does not include any conditions, operations on that policy may specify any valid version or leave the field unset.
bindings[]	object (Binding) Associates a list of members to a role. Optionally, may specify a condition that determines how and when the bindings are applied. Each of the bindings must contain at least one member.
auditConfigs[]	object (AuditConfig) Specifies cloud audit logging configuration for this policy.
etag	string (bytes format) etag is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of a policy from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the etag in the read-modify-write cycle to perform policy updates in order to avoid race conditions: An etag is returned in the response to getIamPolicy, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to setIamPolicy to ensure that their change will be applied to the same version of the policy. Important: If you use IAM Conditions, you must include the etag field whenever you call setIamPolicy. If you omit this field, then IAM allows you to overwrite a version 3 policy with a version 1 policy, and all of the conditions in the version 3 policy are lost. A base64-encoded string.

Binding

Associates members with a role.

JSON representation
{ "role": string, "members": [ string ], "condition": { object (Expr) } }

Fields
role	string Role that is assigned to members. For example, roles/viewer, roles/editor, or roles/owner.
members[]	string Specifies the identities requesting access for a Cloud Platform resource. members can have the following values: allUsers: A special identifier that represents anyone who is on the internet; with or without a Google account. allAuthenticatedUsers: A special identifier that represents anyone who is authenticated with a Google account or a service account. user:{emailid}: An email address that represents a specific Google account. For example, [e-mail] . serviceAccount:{emailid}: An email address that represents a service account. For example, [e-mail]. group:{emailid}: An email address that represents a Google group. For example, [e-mail]. deleted:user:{emailid}?uid={uniqueid}: An email address (plus unique identifier) representing a user that has been recently deleted. For example, [e-mail]?uid=123456789012345678901. If the user is recovered, this value reverts to user:{emailid} and the recovered user retains the role in the binding. deleted:serviceAccount:{emailid}?uid={uniqueid}: An email address (plus unique identifier) representing a service account that has been recently deleted. For example, [e-mail]?uid=123456789012345678901. If the service account is undeleted, this value reverts to serviceAccount:{emailid} and the undeleted service account retains the role in the binding. deleted:group:{emailid}?uid={uniqueid}: An email address (plus unique identifier) representing a Google group that has been recently deleted. For example, [e-mail]?uid=123456789012345678901. If the group is recovered, this value reverts to group:{emailid} and the recovered group retains the role in the binding. domain:{domain}: The G Suite domain (primary) that represents all the users of that domain. For example, google.com or example.com.
condition	object (Expr) The condition that is associated with this binding. NOTE: An unsatisfied condition will not allow user access via current binding. Different bindings, including their conditions, are examined independently.

Expr

Represents an expression text. Example:

title: "User account presence"
description: "Determines whether the request has a user account"
expression: "size(request.user) > 0"

JSON representation
{ "expression": string, "title": string, "description": string, "location": string }

Fields
expression	string Textual representation of an expression in Common Expression Language syntax. The application context of the containing message determines which well-known feature set of CEL is supported.
title	string An optional title for the expression, i.e. a short string describing its purpose. This can be used e.g. in UIs which allow to enter the expression.
description	string An optional description of the expression. This is a longer text which describes the expression, e.g. when hovered over it in a UI.
location	string An optional string indicating the location of the expression for error reporting, e.g. a file name and a position in the file.

AuditConfig

Specifies the audit configuration for a service. The configuration determines which permission types are logged, and what identities, if any, are exempted from logging. An AuditConfig must have one or more AuditLogConfigs.

If there are AuditConfigs for both allServices and a specific service, the union of the two AuditConfigs is used for that service: the log_types specified in each AuditConfig are enabled, and the exemptedMembers in each AuditLogConfig are exempted.

Example Policy with multiple AuditConfigs:

{
  "auditConfigs": [
    {
      "service": "allServices"
      "auditLogConfigs": [
        {
          "logType": "DATA_READ",
          "exemptedMembers": [
            "user:[e-mail]"
          ]
        },
        {
          "logType": "DATA_WRITE",
        },
        {
          "logType": "ADMIN_READ",
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "service": "sampleservice.googleapis.com"
      "auditLogConfigs": [
        {
          "logType": "DATA_READ",
        },
        {
          "logType": "DATA_WRITE",
          "exemptedMembers": [
            "user:[e-mail]"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

For sampleservice, this policy enables DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE and ADMIN_READ logging. It also exempts [e-mail] from DATA_READ logging, and [e-mail] from DATA_WRITE logging.

JSON representation
{ "service": string, "auditLogConfigs": [ { object (AuditLogConfig) } ] }

Fields
service	string Specifies a service that will be enabled for audit logging. For example, storage.googleapis.com, cloudsql.googleapis.com. allServices is a special value that covers all services.
auditLogConfigs[]	object (AuditLogConfig) The configuration for logging of each type of permission.

AuditLogConfig

Provides the configuration for logging a type of permissions. Example:

{
  "auditLogConfigs": [
    {
      "logType": "DATA_READ",
      "exemptedMembers": [
        "user:[e-mail]"
      ]
    },
    {
      "logType": "DATA_WRITE",
    }
  ]
}

This enables 'DATA_READ' and 'DATA_WRITE' logging, while exempting [e-mail] from DATA_READ logging.

JSON representation
{ "logType": enum (LogType), "exemptedMembers": [ string ] }

Fields
logType	enum (LogType) The log type that this config enables.
exemptedMembers[]	string Specifies the identities that do not cause logging for this type of permission. Follows the same format of Binding.members.

LogType

The list of valid permission types for which logging can be configured. Admin writes are always logged, and are not configurable.

Enums
LOG_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED	Default case. Should never be this.
ADMIN_READ	Admin reads. Example: CloudIAM getIamPolicy
DATA_WRITE	Data writes. Example: CloudSQL Users create
DATA_READ	Data reads. Example: CloudSQL Users list
