Google SecOps permissions in IAM
This documentation describes the Chronicle API methods, the permission required to call each method, the Google Security Operations UI pages where the permission is used, and the information recorded in Cloud Audit Logs when the API is called.
You can find a list of all Google SecOps permissions in
IAM permissions reference.
Under the Search for a permission section, search for the term chronicle.
You can find the latest list of all predefined Google SecOps roles
in IAM basic and predefined roles reference.
Under the Predefined roles section, either select the Chronicle API roles
service or search for the term chronicle.
For more information about audit logs, see Google SecOps audit logs.
The information in this document is grouped by the following Google SecOps resource groups:
- Basic: Instances
- Forwarder management: Collectors and Forwarders
- Feed management: Feeds and LogTypes
- Parser management: Parsers, ParserExtensions, ValidationReports, ExtensionValidationReports, and ValidationErrors
- Curated detections: CuratedRules, CuratedRuleSets, CuratedRuleSetDeployments, and CuratedRuleSetCategories
- Rules: Rules and Retrohunts
- Reference list resources
- Dashboards resources
- Search: Events and Entities
- Legacy resources
- Operations resources
- User data: SearchQueries and PreferenceSet
You can programmatically access security data using API calls to Google Security Operations. This is the same security data presented in the Google Security Operations UI through your Google Security Operations account.
Permissions and API methods by resource group
The Chronicle API follows a Resource-oriented design paradigm. This model is the foundation for controlling access to features using IAM auditing application actions using Cloud Audit Logs.
IAM permissions define access to specific Chronicle API methods. Each method represents an action applied to a specific resource. Permissions are grouped into roles you grant to users or groups. For more information on these concepts, see IAM overview.
Audit logs in the Google Cloud console Logs Explorer contain information about method name and the permission related to access of a feature.
IAM permission names (recorded in the authorizationInfo > permission field)
in audit logs take the form chronicle.{resource}.{verb}. For example, the
permission forwarders.list refers to chronicle.forwarders.list. For brevity,
this documentation omits the common service name (chronicle).
Method names in Google SecOps logs (recorded in the methodName field)
follow a namespace format. The fully qualified name of API methods is
google.cloud.chronicle.{version}.{service}.{method}. For example, the method
ForwarderService.ListForwarders refers to
google.cloud.chronicle.v1alpha.ForwarderService.ListForwarders.
For brevity, this document omits the common method name prefix
(google.cloud.chronicle.v1alpha).
After you migrate your Google Security Operations instance to IAM for feature access control,
IAM audit logs are written for all UI access and programmatic
Chronicle API access. For example, if a user tries to load the
Settings > Forwarders page in the UI, Google Security Operations first verifies that
the user has access to the chronicle.forwarders.list permission.
The access attempt and the result is written to an audit log.
Basic: Instances
Instances: Parent resources for all Google Security Operations data. Each Google Security Operations tenant is associated with exactly one instance resource.
