Creating an IAM role

This role is intended to be used at the organization level so that it can be easily shared between projects.

Create a new role.

To create an IAM role

  1. Choose the organization from the project selector.

  2. Navigate to IAM & Admin > Roles.

  3. Choose CREATE ROLE.

  4. Specify title and description.

Adding permissions to the role

  1. After completing the above steps, continue with the following.

  2. Select General Availability.

  3. Click Add Permissions.

  4. In the Filter permission by role field to find and add the following permissions.

    • compute.instances.list

    • compute.machineTypes.get

    • compute.snapshots.list

    • compute.zones.list

    • resourcemanager.projects

    • .get resourcemanager.projects.list

    • storage.buckets.list

    • storage.objects.list

Assigning permission to the role

IAM administrative access required to assign the permissions.
