    Domain 5.1: Managing Identity and Access Management (IAM)IAMCustom RolesSecurityResource Hierarchy

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

    You are reviewing the IAM policies in your organization and realize that a predefined role grants slightly more permissions than your security team allows. 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 Folder level.

    B.

    Custom roles can be created at the Project or Organization level.

    C.

    Google automatically updates your Custom roles with new permissions when new GCP services are released.

    D.

    You are responsible for maintaining Custom roles and updating them if new permissions are required for a service.

    E.

    Custom roles can include permissions that are not supported by any predefined roles.

    How to approach this question

    Understand the limitations and maintenance requirements of Custom Roles. They are manual and only exist at specific hierarchy levels.

    Full Answer

    Custom IAM roles allow you to define a precise set of permissions to meet specific security requirements. However, they come with maintenance overhead. Unlike Predefined roles, which Google automatically updates when new features or services are released, Custom roles are static. You are responsible for maintaining them and adding new permissions if needed. Additionally, Custom roles can only be created at the Project or Organization level; they cannot be created at the Folder level.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming Google updates custom roles, or thinking they can be created at the Folder level.
