    GCP ACE · Question 43 · Domain 5.1: Managing Identity and Access Management

    You need to grant a new team member access to manage Cloud SQL instances in a specific project. You want to follow the principle of least privilege. Which TWO actions should you take? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assign the role to their individual Google account or a Google Group they belong to.

    B.

    Assign the roles/editor role.

    C.

    Assign the roles/cloudsql.admin role.

    D.

    Create a Service Account and share the JSON key with the team member.

    E.

    Assign the role at the Organization level.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the correct identity type for a human user and the most restrictive predefined role for the task.

    Full Answer

    Assign the role to their individual Google account or a Google Group they belong to. Assign the roles/cloudsql.admin role.
    To follow the principle of least privilege, you should assign a predefined role specific to the service they need to manage (`roles/cloudsql.admin`). This role should be bound to their identity (user account or group) at the project level, not the organization level.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting the Editor role, which is a primitive role that grants too much access.
