GAM with minimal GCP rights

Jay Lee edited this page Feb 3, 2023 · 1 revision

GAM setup with minimal GCP permissions.

  • GCP Admin can create a project for the Workspace / GAM admin.

  • GAM admin needs following permissions on the created project resource:

clientauthconfig.brands.create
clientauthconfig.brands.update
clientauthconfig.clients.create
clientauthconfig.clients.createSecret
clientauthconfig.clients.delete
clientauthconfig.clients.get
clientauthconfig.clients.getWithSecret
clientauthconfig.clients.list
clientauthconfig.clients.listWithSecrets
clientauthconfig.clients.update
iam.serviceAccountKeys.create
iam.serviceAccounts.create
iam.serviceAccounts.list
iam.serviceAccounts.setIamPolicy
oauthconfig.testusers.get
oauthconfig.verification.get
resourcemanager.projects.get
serviceusage.services.enable
serviceusage.services.get
serviceusage.services.list

Reasons for permission by service:

Service(s) Reason
clientauthconfig and oauthconfig Manage the OAuth Consent Page
iam Manage service accounts and their keys
serviceusage Enable Google API services
resourcemanager Read basic project info
  • Once GAM admin has rights to the new project they can complete setup with:
gam use project

admin will be prompted for the project ID.
