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

You have reviewed all predefined IAM roles but cannot find one that exactly matches the specific set of permissions required by a custom internal application. You decide to create a Custom IAM Role.

Which TWO statements are true regarding Custom IAM Roles? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Custom roles can be created at the project or organization level

B.

Custom roles are not maintained by Google and will not automatically receive new permissions when new features are released

C.

Custom roles can be created at the folder level

D.

Custom roles are always free to use regardless of how many you create

E.

Custom roles automatically inherit permissions from primitive roles

How to approach this question

Understand the limitations and management overhead of Custom Roles compared to Predefined Roles.

Full Answer

Custom roles can be created at the project or organization level, Custom roles are not maintained by Google and will not automatically receive new permissions when new features are released
Custom IAM roles allow you to combine specific permissions. They can be created at the Project level or the Organization level (but NOT the folder level). A key operational difference is maintenance: Google automatically updates Predefined roles when new features/permissions are added to a service. Custom roles are not updated by Google; the customer is entirely responsible for maintaining them.

Common mistakes

Assuming custom roles can be created at the folder level, or assuming Google updates them automatically.
