New User Seeking Help: Troubleshooting Google Cloud IAM Access Issues

[TBBD]

I'm new to Google Cloud IAM and need help managing user roles and permissions. Despite assigning roles correctly, some users cannot access specific resources.

I've tried reviewing IAM policy bindings, role inheritance, and permissions, but I’m still unsure what’s causing the issue. As a beginner, I’d appreciate step-by-step guidance, best practices, or troubleshooting tips to resolve this.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? Looking forward to insights from the community. Thanks!

Hi, @TBBD.

I will recommending this article to basic understand of the GCP IAM - https://medium.com/@zacyap/automating-role-assignments-with-gcp-iam-policies-7129d689406f. Then you can read this best practices blogs - https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/iam-best-practice-guides-available-now. 

And further more studies on this topic, you can check two of this documentations - https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/using-iam-securely and https://cloud.google.com/policy-intelligence/docs/overview.

Regards,
Mokit
