(DEPRECATED) Test permissions for subscription

Code sample

Go

Before trying this sample, follow the Go setup instructions in the Pub/Sub quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the Pub/Sub Go API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Pub/Sub, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	"cloud.google.com/go/pubsub"
)

func testPermissions(w io.Writer, projectID, subID string) ([]string, error) {
	// projectID := "my-project-id"
	// subID := "my-sub"
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := pubsub.NewClient(ctx, projectID)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("pubsub.NewClient: %w", err)
	}

	sub := client.Subscription(subID)
	perms, err := sub.IAM().TestPermissions(ctx, []string{
		"pubsub.subscriptions.consume",
		"pubsub.subscriptions.update",
	})
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("TestPermissions: %w", err)
	}
	for _, perm := range perms {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Allowed: %v\n", perm)
	}
