Class AccessApprovalClient (2.33.0-rc)

This API allows a customer to manage accesses to cloud resources by Google personnel.

It defines the following resource model:

  • The API has a collection of ApprovalRequest resources, named approvalRequests/{approval_request}
  • The API has top-level settings per Project/Folder/Organization, named accessApprovalSettings

The service also periodically emails a list of recipients, defined at the Project/Folder/Organization level in the accessApprovalSettings, when there is a pending ApprovalRequest for them to act on. The ApprovalRequests can also optionally be published to a Pub/Sub topic owned by the customer (contact support if you would like to enable Pub/Sub notifications).

ApprovalRequests can be approved or dismissed. Google personnel can only access the indicated resource or resources if the request is approved (subject to some exclusions: https://cloud.google.com/access-approval/docs/overview#exclusions).

Note: Using Access Approval functionality will mean that Google may not be able to meet the SLAs for your chosen products, as any support response times may be dramatically increased. As such the SLAs do not apply to any service disruption to the extent impacted by Customer's use of Access Approval. Do not enable Access Approval for projects where you may require high service availability and rapid response by Google Cloud Support.

After a request is approved or dismissed, no further action may be taken on it. Requests with the requested_expiration in the past or with no activity for 14 days are considered dismissed. When an approval expires, the request is considered dismissed.

If a request is not approved or dismissed, we call it pending.

Equality

Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment always compare equal. Instances created with equal std::shared_ptr<*Connection> objects compare equal. Objects that compare equal share the same underlying resources.

Performance

Creating a new instance of this class is a relatively expensive operation, new objects establish new connections to the service. In contrast, copy-construction, move-construction, and the corresponding assignment operations are relatively efficient as the copies share all underlying resources.

Thread Safety

Concurrent access to different instances of this class, even if they compare equal, is guaranteed to work. Two or more threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work. Since copy-construction and move-construction is a relatively efficient operation, consider using such a copy when using this class from multiple threads.

Functions

ListApprovalRequests(std::string const &, Options)

Lists approval requests associated with a project, folder, or organization.

Approval requests can be filtered by state (pending, active, dismissed). The order is reverse chronological.

Parameters
Name Description
parent std::string const &

The parent resource. This may be "projects/{project}", "folders/{folder}", or "organizations/{organization}".

opts Options

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type Description
StreamRange< google::cloud::accessapproval::v1::ApprovalRequest >

a StreamRange to iterate of the results. See the documentation of this type for details. In brief, this class has begin() and end() member functions returning a iterator class meeting the input iterator requirements. The value type for this iterator is a StatusOr as the iteration may fail even after some values are retrieved successfully, for example, if there is a network disconnect. An empty set of results does not indicate an error, it indicates that there are no resources meeting the request criteria. On a successful iteration the StatusOr<T> contains elements of type google.cloud.accessapproval.v1.ApprovalRequest, or rather, the C++ class generated by Protobuf from that type. Please consult the Protobuf documentation for details on the Protobuf mapping rules.

ListApprovalRequests(google::cloud::accessapproval::v1::ListApprovalRequestsMessage, Options)
