Zorluk: KolayManaging Cloud Projects and Resource Hierarchy

A cloud security auditor requires read-only visibility into all cloud resources contained within a specific business unit's folder. An IT administrator grants the auditor the Viewer role (roles/viewer) directly on that folder. Which statement correctly describes the outcome of this role assignment across the resource hierarchy?

  1. The auditor automatically inherits read-only access to all current and future projects contained within that folder.Cevap
  2. B
    The auditor receives read-only access to the folder metadata but must be granted permissions separately on each child project.
  3. C
    The auditor must be assigned the broad primitive Owner role at the Organization level for folder permissions to propagate downward.
  4. D
    The folder-level permission assignment fails because IAM roles can only be granted at the individual project or resource level.

Cevap

The auditor automatically inherits read-only access to all current and future projects contained within that folder.
In Google Cloud, IAM policies follow a strict top-down inheritance model across the resource hierarchy (Organization -> Folder -> Project -> Resource). Granting an IAM role at the folder level ensures that any existing or newly created child projects inside that folder automatically inherit the associated permissions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the node in the resource hierarchy where the IAM role is granted.
The Viewer role is assigned at the Folder level.
In Google Cloud, resource hierarchy follows Organization > Folder > Project > Resource.
2
Apply the rule of IAM policy inheritance.
Permissions granted on a parent node are inherited by all child resources.
Policy inheritance in Google Cloud IAM is transitive and automatic.
