Access Control with IAM

Service Usage uses Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access to services. This page explains the IAM roles and permissions related to Service Usage and how to use them to control access.

Resource model

For Service Usage, there are three relevant resources:

  1. The service you are using.

  2. The project from which you are using the service.

  3. The operation or long-running operation returned by certain methods.

Each Service Usage method requires a permission on one or more of these resources.
