Migration Center IAM roles and permissions

If you create the Google Cloud project where you want to use Migration Center, you already have all the permissions required to activate Migration Center and manage resources in the product.

When you add a new member to your project, you can use an Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy to give that member one or more IAM roles to control the actions that the member can perform in Migration Center.

This page describes the typical roles you might want to assign to your project members and the permissions required to perform various actions.

Before you begin

• Read the IAM documentation.

Roles and actions

There are three main categories of actions that you can perform in Migration Center:

• Activate Migration Center.
• Manage Migration Center resources.
• View Migration Center resources.

As a best practice, assign members of your project the roles with the least amount of privileges required to perform the actions they need to perform.

Create the Migration Center Additional Role

As a preliminary step before you assign roles to the members of your organization, create a custom role to simplify how you manage permissions. Follow these steps:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to IAM & Admin > Roles.

   Go to Roles

2. Click  Create role

3. In the Create role page, fill in the following fields:

   • Title: "Migration Center Additional Role"

   • Description: "Additional roles needed for Migration Center scenarios"

4. Click  Add permissions.

5. From the list of permissions, search for the following permissions and select them:

   • iam.serviceAccountKeys.list
   • iam.serviceAccounts.list
   • resourcemanager.projects.update
   • serviceusage.services.enable

   Then, to add your permissions, click Add.

6. To finish, click Create.
