Create a role in Google Cloud IAM

Activity overview IAM, or Identity and Access Management, is a collection of processes and technologies that help organizations manage digital identities in their environment. With IAM, access control is managed by defining the identity of users and their roles in relation to available resources. Resource access permissions are not granted directly to individual users. Instead, users are assigned to roles that are then given to authenticated principals. While the term "members" was used in the past, IAM now refers to these individuals as principals, although some APIs still use the previous terminology. There are three types of IAM roles in Google Cloud: - Basic roles: Roles historically available in the Google Cloud console. These roles are Owner, Editor, and Viewer. - Predefined roles: Roles that give finer-grained access control than the basic roles. For example, the predefined role Pub/Sub Publisher (roles/pubsub.publisher) provides access to only publish messages to a Pub/Sub topic. - Custom roles: Roles that you create to tailor permissions to the needs of your organization when predefined roles don't meet your needs. In this lab, you’ll learn how to create and manage Identity and Access Management (IAM) custom roles. #gcp #googlecloud #qwiklabs #learntoearn
