Figuring out who can access services across a platform as varied as Google Cloud can be a challenge for IT administrators. Google has done a lot of the work for you with a set of fairly granular pre-defined roles, but recognizing that canned roles won\u2019t suit everyone\u2019s needs, the company announced a Beta of custom roles<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

As the name implies, administrators can define roles as broadly or narrowly as they need for different jobs inside an organization. The platform includes three basic roles: owner, editor and viewer. From there it offers 100 service-specific roles, but when those aren\u2019t quite what you need, that\u2019s where the custom roles function comes into play.<\/p>\n

As Google project manager\u00a0Rohit Khare describes it in a blog post introducing the new feature<\/a>, \u201cCustom roles complement the primitive and predefined roles when you need to be even more precise.\u201d He offers the example of Cloud SQL data auditors, who need access to the database to understand the data being collected without having the ability to read the data or perform any actions on it.<\/p>\n

As Khare explains in the blog post, \u201cYou can build your own \u201cCloud SQL Inventory\u201d custom role to grant auditors browse access to databases without giving them permission to export their contents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google says the best way to create a new role is to clone one of the existing ones, then change the name and modify the permissions for the role you\u2019re creating. They warn that when you create a custom role, you\u2019ll need a system for tracking them because GCP is always updating the platform and you need to be sure your custom permissions are in line with the latest versions.<\/p>\n

While Google has done a good job of providing a range of permissions for the most common kinds of use cases, there are always going to be outliers and giving admins the ability to manage a set of custom roles is going to be appealing to organizations who need even greater granular control than they get out of the box.<\/p>\n
