Using IAM permissions

Go to concepts

This page describes how to control access to buckets and objects using Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. IAM allows you to control who has access to your buckets and objects.

To learn about other ways to control access to buckets and objects, read Overview of Access Control. To learn about controlling access to individual objects in your buckets, see Access Control Lists.

Note: IAM policies cannot be managed using the XML API.

Using IAM with buckets

The following sections show how to complete basic IAM tasks on buckets.

Adding a member to a bucket-level policy

For a list of roles associated with Cloud Storage, see IAM Roles. For information on entities to which you grant IAM roles, see Member Types.

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click the Bucket overflow menu () associated with the bucket to which you want to grant a member a role.

3. Choose Edit bucket permissions.

4. Click the + Add members button.

5. In the New members field, enter one or more identities that need access to your bucket.

6. Select a role (or roles) from the Select a role drop-down menu. The roles you select appear in the pane with a short description of the permissions they grant.

7. Click Save.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Use the gsutil iam ch command:

gsutil iam ch MEMBER_TYPE:MEMBER_NAME:IAM_ROLE gs://BUCKET_NAME

Where:

• MEMBER_TYPE is the type of member to which you are granting bucket access. For example, user.
• MEMBER_NAME is the name of the member to which you are granting bucket access. For example, [e-mail].
• IAM_ROLE is the IAM role you are granting to the member. For example, roles/storage.objectViewer.
• BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket you are granting the member access to. For example, my-bucket.

For more examples of how to format MEMBER_TYPE:MEMBER_NAME:IAM_ROLE, see the gsutil iam ch reference page.

Note: The gsutil iam ch command does not work with policies that contain conditions. To modify a policy that has conditions, use gsutil iam get to retrieve the policy for the relevant bucket, edit it locally, and then use gsutil iam set to re-apply it to the bucket.

JSON

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Create a .json file that contains the following information:

   {
     "bindings":[
       {
         "role": "IAM_ROLE",
         "members":[
           "MEMBER_NAME"
         ]
       }
     ]
   }

   Where:

   • IAM_ROLE is the IAM role you are granting the member. For example, roles/storage.objectViewer.

   • MEMBER_NAME is the name of the member to which you are granting bucket access. For example, [e-mail].

     For more examples of how to format MEMBER_NAME, see the members section here.

3. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a PUT setIamPolicy request:

   curl -X PUT --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 2.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket to which you want to give the member access. For example, my-bucket.

Note: You should set the minimum permission possible that gives the member the required access. For example, if the team member only needs to read objects stored in a bucket, select the Storage Object Viewer role. Similarly, if the team member needs full control of objects in the bucket (but not control of the bucket itself), select Storage Object Admin.

Viewing the IAM policy for a bucket

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click the Bucket overflow menu () associated with the bucket to which you want to view role members.

3. Choose Edit bucket permissions.

4. Expand the desired role to view the members who have been assigned to it.

5. (Optional) Use the search bar to filter your results by role or member.

   If you search by member, your results display each role that the member is assigned to.

gsutil

Use the gsutil iam get command:

gsutil iam get gs://BUCKET_NAME

Where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose IAM policy you want to view. For example, my-bucket.

JSON

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a GET getIamPolicy request:

   curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose IAM policy you want to view. For example, my-bucket.

Note: Some roles may not appear in the bucket permissions window. If you assign roles at the project level, they do not appear in the bucket permission window, even when users with that role have access to your bucket. To view these project-level permissions, go to the IAM & Admin screen.

Removing a member from a bucket-level policy

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click the Bucket overflow menu () associated with the bucket from which you want to remove a member's role.

3. Choose Edit bucket permissions.

4. Expand the role that contains the member you are removing.

5. Click on the trash icon.

6. In the overlay window that appears, click Remove.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Use the gsutil iam ch command with a -d flag:

gsutil iam ch -d MEMBER_TYPE:MEMBER_NAME gs://BUCKET_NAME

Where:

• MEMBER_TYPE is the type of the member you are removing from the policy. For example, user.
• MEMBER_NAME is the name of the member you are removing from the policy. For example, [e-mail].
• BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket from which you are removing member access. For example, my-bucket.

For more examples of how to format MEMBER_TYPE:MEMBER_NAME, see the gsutil iam ch reference page.

Note: The gsutil iam ch command does not work with policies that contain conditions. To modify a policy that has conditions, use gsutil iam get to retrieve the policy for the relevant bucket, edit it locally, and then use gsutil iam set to re-apply it to the bucket.

JSON

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Get the existing policy applied to your project. To do so, use cURL to call the JSON API with a GET getIamPolicy request:

   curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose IAM policy you want to view. For example, my-bucket.

3. Create a .json file that contains the policy you retrieved in the previous step.

4. Edit the .json file to remove the member from the policy.

5. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a PUT setIamPolicy request:

   curl -X PUT --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 3.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket from which you want to remove member access. For example, my-bucket.

Important: It typically takes about a minute for revoking access to take effect. In some cases it may take longer. If you remove a user's access, this change is immediately reflected in the metadata; however, the user may still have access to the object for a short period of time.

Using IAM Conditions on buckets

The following sections show you how to add and remove IAM Conditions on your buckets. To view the IAM Conditions for your bucket, see Viewing the IAM policy for a bucket. For more information about using IAM Conditions with Cloud Storage, see Conditions.

You must enable uniform bucket-level access on the bucket before adding conditions.

Setting a new condition on a bucket

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click the Bucket overflow menu () on the far right of the row associated with the bucket.

3. Choose Edit bucket permissions.

4. Click Add members.

5. For New members, fill out the members to which you want to grant access to your bucket.

6. For each role to which you want to apply a condition:

   1. Select a Role to grant the members.

   2. Click Add condition to open the Edit condition form.

   3. Fill out the Title of the condition. The Description field is optional.

   4. Use the Condition Builder to build your condition visually, or use the Condition Editor tab to enter the CEL expression.

   5. Click Save to return to the Add members form. To add multiple roles, click Add another role.

7. Click Save.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Note: gsutil must be at version 4.38 or higher to use conditions.

1. Use the gsutil iam command to save the bucket's IAM policy to a temporary JSON file.

   gsutil iam get gs://BUCKET_NAME > /tmp/policy.json

   Where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose IAM policy you want to retrieve. For example, my-bucket.

2. Edit the /tmp/policy.json file in a text editor to add new conditions to the bindings in the IAM policy:

   {
     "version": VERSION,
     "bindings": [
       {
         "role": "IAM_ROLE",
         "members": [
           "MEMBER_NAME"
         ],
         "condition": {
           "title": "TITLE",
           "description": "DESCRIPTION",
           "expression": "EXPRESSION"
         }
     ],
     "etag": "ETAG"
   }

   Where:

   • VERSION is the IAM policy version, which is required to be 3 for buckets with IAM Conditions.
   • IAM ROLE is the role to which the condition applies. For example, roles/storage.objectViewer.
   • MEMBER_NAME is the member to which the condition applies. For example, [e-mail].
   • TITLE is the title of the condition. For example, expires in 2019.
   • DESCRIPTION is an optional description of the condition. For example, Permission revoked on New Year's.
   • EXPRESSION is an attribute-based logic expression. For example, request.time < timestamp(\"2019-01-01T00:00:00Z\"). For more examples of expressions, see the Conditions attribute reference. Note that Cloud Storage only supports the date/time, resource type, and resource name attributes.

   Do not modify ETAG.

3. Use gsutil iam to set the modified IAM policy on the bucket.

   gsutil iam set /tmp/policy.json gs://BUCKET_NAME

Note: The gsutil iam ch command does not work with policies that contain conditions.

JSON

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use a GET getIamPolicy request to save the bucket's IAM policy to a temporary JSON file:

   curl \
   'https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN' > /tmp/policy.json

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

3. Edit the /tmp/policy.json file in a text editor to add new conditions to the bindings in the IAM policy:

   {
         "version": VERSION,
         "bindings": [
           {
             "role": "IAM_ROLE",
             "members": [
               "MEMBER_NAME"
             ],
             "condition": {
               "title": "TITLE",
               "description": "DESCRIPTION",
               "expression": "EXPRESSION"
             }
         ],
         "etag": "ETAG"
    }

   Where:

   • VERSION is the IAM policy version, which is required to be 3 for buckets with IAM Conditions.
   • IAM_ROLE is the role to which the condition applies. For example, roles/storage.objectViewer.
   • MEMBER_NAME is the member to which the condition applies. For example, [e-mail].
   • TITLE is the title of the condition. For example, expires in 2019.
   • DESCRIPTION is an optional description of the condition. For example, Permission revoked on New Year's.

   • EXPRESSION is an attribute-based logic expression. For example, request.time < timestamp(\"2019-01-01T00:00:00Z\"). For more examples of expressions, see the Conditions attribute reference. Note that Cloud Storage only supports the date/time, resource type, and resource name attributes.

     Do not modify ETAG.

4. Use a PUT setIamPolicy request to set the modified IAM policy on the bucket:

   curl -X PUT --data-binary @/tmp/policy.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

Removing a condition from a bucket

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click the Bucket overflow menu () on the far right of the row associated with the bucket.

3. Choose Edit bucket permissions.

4. Expand the role that contains the condition you are removing.

5. Click the Edit menu () for the member associated with the condition.

6. In the Edit permissions overlay that appears, click on the name of the condition you want to delete.

7. In the Edit condition overlay that appears, click Delete, then Confirm.

8. Click Save.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Note: gsutil must be at version 4.38 or higher to use conditions.

1. Use the gsutil iam command to save the bucket's IAM policy to a temporary JSON file.

   gsutil iam get gs://BUCKET_NAME > /tmp/policy.json

2. Edit the /tmp/policy.json file in a text editor to remove conditions from the IAM policy.

3. Use gsutil iam to set the modified IAM policy on the bucket.

   gsutil iam set /tmp/policy.json gs://BUCKET_NAME

Note: The gsutil iam ch command does not work with policies that contain conditions.

JSON

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use a GET getIamPolicy request to save the bucket's IAM policy to a temporary JSON file:

   curl \
   'https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN' > /tmp/policy.json

   Where:

   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket you are granting the member access to. For example, my-bucket.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

3. Edit the /tmp/policy.json file in a text editor to remove conditions from the IAM policy.

4. Use a PUT setIamPolicy request to set the modified IAM policy on the bucket:

   curl -X PUT --data-binary @/tmp/policy.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/iam"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose IAM policy you want to modify. For example, my-bucket.

Using IAM with projects

The following sections show how to complete basic IAM tasks on projects. Note that these tasks use a separate command line command, gcloud, and a separate endpoint, cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com, compared to most Cloud Storage tasks.

To complete the following tasks, you must have the resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy and resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy IAM permissions.

Adding a member to a project-level policy

For a list of roles associated with Cloud Storage, see IAM Roles. For information on entities to which you grant IAM roles, see Member Types.

Console

1. Open the IAM & Admin browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the IAM & Admin browser

2. In the project drop-down menu on the top bar, select the project to which you want to add a member.

3. Click Add. The Add members, roles to project dialog appears.

4. In the New members field, specify the name of the entity to which you are granting access.

5. In the Select a role drop down, grant the appropriate role to the member.

   Roles that affect Cloud Storage buckets and objects are found in the Project and Storage submenus.

6. Click Save.

gsutil

Project-level IAM policies are managed through the gcloud command, which is part of the Google Cloud SDK. To add a project-level policy, use gcloud beta projects add-iam-policy-binding.

JSON

Note: This task uses a separate endpoint compared to most Cloud Storage tasks.

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Create a .json file that contains the following information:

   {
     "policy": {
       "version": "0",
       "bindings": {
         "role": "IAM_ROLE",
         "members": "MEMBER_NAME"
       },
     }
   }

   Where:

   • IAM_ROLE is the IAM role you are granting the member. For example, roles/storage.objectViewer.
   • MEMBER_NAME is the type and name of the member to which you are granting project access. For example, user:[e-mail].

3. Use cURL to call the Resource Manager API with a POST setIamPolicy request:

   curl -X POST --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID:setIamPolicy"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 2.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • PROJECT_ID is the ID of the project to which you are granting member access. For example, my-project.

Note: You should set the minimum permission possible that gives the member the required access. For example, if the team member only needs to read objects stored in a project, select the Storage Object Viewer permission. Similarly, if the team member needs full control of objects (but not buckets) in a project, select Storage Object Admin.

Viewing the IAM policy for a project

Console

1. Open the IAM & Admin browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the IAM & Admin browser

2. In the project drop-down menu on the top bar, select the project whose policy you want to view.

3. There are two ways to view permissions for the project:

   • View by Members: View the Role column associated with individual members to see which roles each member has.
   • View by Roles: Use the drop-down associated with individual roles to see which members have the role.

gsutil

Project-level IAM policies are managed through the gcloud command, which is part of the Google Cloud SDK. To view the IAM policy of a project, use gcloud beta projects get-iam-policy command.

JSON

Note: This task uses a separate endpoint compared to most Cloud Storage tasks.

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the Resource Manager API with a POST getIamPolicy request:

   curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Length: 0" \
     "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID:getIamPolicy"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • PROJECT_ID is the ID of the project to which you are granting member access. For example, my-project.

Removing a member from a project-level policy

Console

1. Open the IAM & Admin browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the IAM & Admin browser

2. In the project drop-down menu on the top bar, select the project from which you want to remove a member.

3. Make sure you are viewing permissions by Members, and select the members you want to remove.

4. Click Remove.

5. In the overlay window that appears, click Confirm.

gsutil

Project-level IAM policies are managed through the gcloud command, which is part of the Google Cloud SDK. To remove a project-level policy, use gcloud beta projects remove-iam-policy-binding.

JSON

Note: This task uses a separate endpoint compared to most Cloud Storage tasks.

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Get the existing policy applied to your project. To do so, use cURL to call the Resource Manager API with a POST getIamPolicy request:

   curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Length: 0" \
     "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID:getIamPolicy"

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • PROJECT_ID is the ID of the project to which you want to add member access. For example, my-project.

3. Create a .json file that contains the policy you retrieved in the previous step.

4. Edit the .json file to remove the member from the policy.

5. Use cURL to call the Resource Manager API with a POST setIamPolicy request:

   curl -X POST --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID:setIamPolicy"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 2.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • PROJECT_ID is the ID of the project to which you want to grant member access. For example, my-project.

Important: It typically takes about a minute for revoking access to take effect. In some cases it may take longer. If you remove a user's access, this change is immediately reflected in the metadata; however, the user may still have access to the object for a short period of time.
