Access control for folders with IAM

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Google Cloud offers Identity and Access Management (IAM), which lets you give more granular access to specific Google Cloud resources and prevents unwanted access to other resources. IAM lets you adopt the security principle of least privilege, so you grant only the necessary access to your resources.

IAM lets you control who (users) has what access (roles) to which resources by setting allow policies. Allow policies grant specific roles to a user giving the user certain permissions.

This page explains the IAM roles that are available at the Folders level, and how to create and manage allow policies for folders using the Cloud Resource Manager API. For more information, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

Note: You can also use deny policies to prevent principals from using specific IAM permissions. For more information, see Deny policies. Note: If you're getting started with Google Cloud, you can set up your resource hierarchy and grant initial access as part of the Google Cloud setup process. Overview of IAM roles for Folders

To help you configure your IAM roles, the following table lists:

The type of actions you want to enable
The roles required to perform those actions
The resource level on which you need to apply those roles

Note: Allow policies are additive and inherited down the hierarchy. This means that moving a resource into a folder could grant a user additional roles on that resource. Conversely, moving a resource out of a folder might mean losing roles on that resource. Type of actions Roles required Resource level Administer folders across the organization resource Folder Admin Organization resource Administer a folder and all projects and folders it contains Folder Admin Specific folder Access and administer a folder's allow policies Folder IAM Admin Specific folder Create new folders Folder Creator Parent resource for the location of the new folders Move folders and projects Folder Mover Parent resource for both the original folder location and the new folder location Move a project to a new folder Project Editor or Project Owner Parent resource for both the original project location and new project location Delete a folder Folder Editor or Folder Admin Specific folder Best practices for using IAM roles and permissions with Folders

When assigning IAM roles and permissions for use with Folders, keep the following in mind:

Use groups whenever possible to manage principals.
Minimize usage of basic roles, such as owner, editor, and viewer. Instead, try to use the predefined roles for principle of least privilege.
For folder-wide management, assign permissions at folder level and have projects inherit them automatically. For example, you could assign a department administrator group the Folder Admin role on the folder. Network administrators that need to have department-wide permissions can have the Network Admin role for the folder.
Carefully consider what permissions might change before moving a resource out of a folder. Otherwise, you could risk breaking existing apps or workflows that require those permissions on that resource.
Plan and test your resource hierarchy carefully before moving production projects under folders. One way to do this is to create a test folder under your organization resource and creating a prototype of your intended hierarchy ahead of time.
Granting a role to a user at the folder level will grant the user that role for every resource underneath that folder as well. For example, if you grant a user the Compute Admin role (roles/compute.admin) on a folder, that user will have full control of all Compute Engine resources in every project in that folder.

Understanding folder roles and permissions Default roles

When you create a folder, you are granted the Folder Admin and Folder Editor roles for the folder to provide you full control as the creator. See below for the permissions that these roles provide. These default roles can be changed as normal in an allow policy.

Creating custom roles

In addition to the predefined roles described in this topic, you can also create

custom roles

that are collections of permissions that you tailor to your needs. When creating a custom role for use with Resource Manager, be aware of the following points:

List and get permissions, such as resourcemanager.projects.get/list, should always be granted as a pair.
When your custom role includes the folders.list and folders.get permissions, it should also include projects.list and projects.get.
Be aware that the setIamPolicy permission for organization, folder, and project resources allows the user to grant all other permissions, and so should be assigned with care.

Granting roles to enable folder browsing

List permissions enable folder browsing. The two types of list permissions that typically need to be granted are resourcemanager.folders.list, which allows users to list folders under a resource, and resourcemanager.projects.list, which allows users to browse projects under an organization resource or folder. The Organization Administrator is initialized with both of these permissions. For users that have not been assigned the Organization Administrator role:

resourcemanager.folders.list can be granted via the Folder Viewer and Folder Editor roles.
resourcemanager.projects.list can be granted via the Viewer or Browser roles.

For organization resource principals to browse the entire organization resource hierarchy, list permissions should be granted at the organization resource level.

Granting roles to enable folder creation

Users that need to create folders must be granted Folder Creator role on a resource in the hierarchy above the level at which the folder will be created. It can be helpful to grant browsing permissions along with folder creation permissions so users can effectively navigate to where in the hierarchy the folder will be created. See the section above for more information on browsing permissions.

Folder Creator does not grant a user permission to delete a folder. However, when a person creates a folder, that person is automatically granted the Folder Editor role. The Folder Editor role enables folder deletion.

Granting roles to enable folder movement

To move a folder from one parent resource to another, users must have the Folder Mover role on both old and new parent resources, or on a common ancestor.

Granting roles to enable project movement

To move a project into a folder, users must have the Project Editor or Project Owner roles on the project and the Project Mover on both the source and destination parent resources.

This is slightly different from the requirements for moving a non-org-owned project into the organization resource, where users must have the Project Editor or Project Owner role on the project and the Project Creator role on the organization resource.

Granting folder-specific roles to enable project creation

To create projects, users must have the Project Creator role. However, rather than granting org-wide project creation permission, it can be useful to instead restrict users to viewing and creating projects only within a given folder.

To grant folder-specific permissions:

Grant the user the Organization Viewer role at the org node level (for example, domain.com).
Create a new folder.
Add the user to IAM at the folder level and grant them the Folder Viewer and Project Creator roles.

This allows the user to create projects in their folder without granting them visibility to every project in the greater organization resource.
