Class IAMClient (2.24.0)

Creates and manages Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources.

You can use this service to work with all of the following resources:

  • Service accounts, which identify an application or a virtual machine (VM) instance rather than a person
  • Service account keys, which service accounts use to authenticate with Google APIs
  • IAM policies for service accounts, which specify the roles that a principal has for the service account
  • IAM custom roles, which help you limit the number of permissions that you grant to principals

In addition, you can use this service to complete the following tasks, among others:

  • Test whether a service account can use specific permissions
  • Check which roles you can grant for a specific resource
  • Lint, or validate, condition expressions in an IAM policy

When you read data from the IAM API, each read is eventually consistent. In other words, if you write data with the IAM API, then immediately read that data, the read operation might return an older version of the data. To deal with this behavior, your application can retry the request with truncated exponential backoff.

In contrast, writing data to the IAM API is sequentially consistent. In other words, write operations are always processed in the order in which they were received.

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

ListServiceAccounts(std::string const &, Options)

Lists every ServiceAccount that belongs to a specific project.

Parameters
Name Description
name std::string const &

Required. The resource name of the project associated with the service accounts, such as projects/my-project-123.

opts Options

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

Returns
Type Description
StreamRange< google::iam::admin::v1::ServiceAccount >

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.iam.admin.v1.ServiceAccount, or rather, the C++ class generated by Protobuf from that type. Please consult the Protobuf documentation for details on the Protobuf mapping rules.

This method does not enable the service account to access other resources. To grant roles to a service account on a resource, follow these steps:

  1. Call the resource's getIamPolicy method to get its current IAM policy.
  2. Edit the policy so that it binds the service account to an IAM role for the resource.
  3. Call the resource's setIamPolicy method to update its IAM policy.

For detailed instructions, see Manage access to project, folders, and organizations or Manage access to other resources.

Parameters
Name Description

SetIamPolicy(std::string const &, IamUpdater const &, Options)

Updates the IAM policy for resource using an optimistic concurrency control loop.

The loop fetches the current policy for resource, and passes it to updater, which should return the new policy. This new policy should use the current etag so that the read-modify-write cycle can detect races and rerun the update when there is a mismatch. If the new policy does not have an etag, the existing policy will be blindly overwritten. If updater does not yield a policy, the control loop is terminated and kCancelled is returned.

This method does not enable the service account to access other resources. To grant roles to a service account on a resource, follow these steps:

  1. Call the resource's getIamPolicy method to get its current IAM policy.
  2. Edit the policy so that it binds the service account to an IAM role for the resource.
  3. Call the resource's setIamPolicy method to update its IAM policy.

For detailed instructions, see Manage access to project, folders, and organizations or Manage access to other resources.
