This quickstart shows you how to apply a constraint that enforces a domain restriction. You'll test that constraint and intentionally throw an error. Then you'll modify the constraint so that your domain passes.
Before you begin
- You need a Google Cloud project.
You need the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions for that project:
resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy
– This permission can be granted with the Security Reviewer role for the organization.resourcemanager.projects.get
– This permission can be granted with the Project Viewer role for the organization.
To get you started quickly, these instructions use a Cloud Shell that's pre-installed with Terraform, and with a cloned Policy Library repository. The instructions assume you already have a Google Cloud account.
Quickstart
Go to the Cloud Shell and clone the policy library.
Copy the sample IAM domain restriction constraint into the
policies/constraints
directory.cp samples/iam_service_accounts_only.yaml policies/constraints
Examine the constraint you copied by printing it to the terminal.
cat policies/constraints/iam_service_accounts_only.yaml
The output looks like this:
# This constraint checks that all IAM policy members are in the # "gserviceaccount.com" domain. apiVersion: constraints.gatekeeper.sh/v1alpha1 kind: GCPIAMAllowedPolicyMemberDomainsConstraintV2 metadata: name: service_accounts_only annotations: description: Checks that members that have been granted IAM roles belong to allowlisted domains. spec: severity: high match: target: # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.target"} - "organizations/**" parameters: domains: - gserviceaccount.com
Notice
gserviceaccount.com
at the bottom. This specifies that only members from thegserviceaccount.com
domain can be present in an IAM policy.To verify that the policy works as expected, create the following Terraform
main.tf
file in the current directory. You can use nano, vim, or the Cloud Shell Editor to createpolicy-library/main.tf
.terraform { required_providers { google = { source = "hashicorp/google" version = "~> 3.84" } } } resource "google_project_iam_binding" "sample_iam_binding" { project = "PROJECT_ID" role = "roles/viewer" members = [ "user:EMAIL_ADDRESS" ] }
Replace the following:
PROJECT_ID
: your project ID.EMAIL_ADDRESS
: a sample email address. This can be any valid email address. For example,user@example.com
.
Initialize Terraform and generate a Terraform plan using the following:
terraform init
Export the Terraform plan, if asked, click Authorize when prompted:
terraform plan -out=test.tfplan
Convert the Terraform plan to JSON:
terraform show -json ./test.tfplan > ./tfplan.json
Install the terraform-tools component:
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-terraform-tools
Enter the following command to validate that your Terraform plan complies with your policies:
gcloud beta terraform vet tfplan.json --policy-library=. --format=json
Since the email address you provided in the IAM policy binding does not belong to a service account, the plan violates the constraint you set up.
[ { "constraint": "GCPIAMAllowedPolicyMemberDomainsConstraintV2.service_accounts_only", "constraint_config": { "api_version": "constraints.gatekeeper.sh/v1alpha1", "kind": "GCPIAMAllowedPolicyMemberDomainsConstraintV2", "metadata": { "annotations": { "description": "Checks that members that have been granted IAM roles belong to allowlisted domains.", "validation.gcp.forsetisecurity.org/originalName": "service_accounts_only", "validation.gcp.forsetisecurity.org/yamlpath": "policies/constraints/iam_service_accounts_only.yaml" }, "name": "service-accounts-only" }, "spec": { "match": { "target": [ "organizations/**" ] }, "parameters": { "domains": [ "gserviceaccount.com" ] }, "severity": "high" } }, "message": "IAM policy for //cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID contains member from unexpected domain: user:user@example.com", "metadata": { "ancestry_path": "organizations/ORG_ID/projects/PROJECT_ID", "constraint": { "annotations": { "description": "Checks that members that have been granted IAM roles belong to allowlisted domains.", "validation.gcp.forsetisecurity.org/originalName": "service_accounts_only", "validation.gcp.forsetisecurity.org/yamlpath": "policies/constraints/iam_service_accounts_only.yaml" }, "labels": {}, "parameters": { "domains": [ "gserviceaccount.com" ] } }, "details": { "member": "user:user@example.com", "resource": "//cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID" } }, "resource": "//cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID", "severity": "high" } ]
To allow another domain (your email), edit
policy-library/policies/constraints/iam_service_accounts_only.yaml
and append your email domain to the domains allowlist. In the following example, we've addedexample.com
, but you'd enter the domain for your own email address:apiVersion: constraints.gatekeeper.sh/v1alpha1 kind: GCPIAMAllowedPolicyMemberDomainsConstraintV1 metadata: name: service_accounts_only spec: severity: high match: target: ["organizations/**"] parameters: domains: - gserviceaccount.com - example.com
Now validate your Terraform plan again, and this should result in no violations found:
gcloud beta terraform vet tfplan.json --policy-library=. --format=json
Expected output:
[]
Troubleshooting
If you receive the following error, "Error 403: The caller does not have permission, forbidden"
, then you either didn't replace PROJECT_ID
in policy-library/main.tf
with the name of your project, or you don't have the necessary permissions on the project you specified.
After editing the project name and/or permissions (resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy
and resourcemanager.projects.get
), go back and export the Terraform plan again, and then convert the Terraform plan to JSON.
