Search for IAM allow policies on resources

You can search for IAM allow policies on your resources in a project, folder, or organization, and filter the returned results using a query.

Before you begin

  1. Enable the Cloud Asset Inventory API in the project you're running Cloud Asset Inventory commands from.

    Enable the Cloud Asset Inventory API

  2. Make sure your account has the correct role to call the Cloud Asset Inventory API. For individual permissions for each call type, see Permissions.

Construct a query

Before constructing a query, it can be useful to start with a search request that doesn't specify a query. Use the fields and values from the full response to create a query using the search query syntax, and refine it until the results you want are returned.

Fields that can be used in a query are detailed in the IamPolicySearchResult reference documentation.

Keep in mind the following limitations when constructing a query:

  • The policy field is a nested object, so can only be used with the : operator.

  • Not all asset types are searchable. See Resource types to confirm if a service isn't available in the search APIs.

The following additional fields can also be used to restrict your results to certain principal types, permissions, or roles:

Field Description
memberTypes

Contains one of the following IAM principal types:

  • user
  • group
  • domain
  • serviceAccount
  • allUsers
  • allAuthenticatedUsers
Example
memberTypes=user
policy.role.permissions

Contains specific IAM permissions.

Example
policy.role.permissions=storage.buckets.create
roles

Contains specific IAM roles.

Example
roles=roles/storage.objectAdmin

Search for IAM allow policies

Before constructing a query, it can be useful to start with a search request that doesn't specify a query. Use the fields and values from the full response to create a query using the search query syntax, and refine it until the results you want are returned.

Console

To search for IAM allow policy metadata, complete the following steps.

  1. Go to the Asset Inventory page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Asset Inventory

  2. Change to the project, folder, or organization you want to search.
  3. Click the IAM policy tab.

  4. To search allow policies, enter a query in the Filter field. See Search query syntax to learn how to write a search query.

    To make constructing queries easier, you can click the Filter field to display and add the available searchable fields to your query.

After performing a search, the allow policies matching the query are listed in the Results table. Double-click your query to edit it, or use the Filter results pane to apply quick Query presets or retrict the search results by specific criteria.

To view the query as a Google Cloud CLI command, click View query.

To export the results, click Download CSV.

gcloud

gcloud asset search-all-iam-policies \
    --scope=SCOPE_PATH \
    --query="QUERY" \
    --asset-types=ASSET_TYPE_1,ASSET_TYPE_2,... \

Provide the following values:

  • SCOPE_PATH: Use one of the following values:

    The allowed values are:

    • projects/PROJECT_ID, where PROJECT_ID is the ID of the project that has assets with IAM allow policies you want to search for.

    • projects/PROJECT_NUMBER, where PROJECT_NUMBER is the number of the project that has assets with IAM allow policies you want to search for.

      How to find a Google Cloud project number

      Google Cloud console

      To find a Google Cloud project number, complete the following steps:

      1. Go to the Welcome page in the Google Cloud console.

        Go to Welcome

      2. Click the switcher list box in the menu bar.

      3. Select your organization from the list box, and then search for your project name. The project name, project number, and project ID are shown near the Welcome heading.

        Up to 4,000 resources are displayed. If you don't see the project you're looking for, go to the Manage resources page and filter the list using the name of that project.

      gcloud CLI

      You can retrieve a Google Cloud project number with the following command:

      gcloud projects describe PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)"

    • folders/FOLDER_ID, where FOLDER_ID is the ID of the folder that has assets with IAM allow policies you want to search for.

      How to find the ID of a Google Cloud folder

      Google Cloud console

      To find the ID of a Google Cloud folder, complete the following steps:

      1. Go to the Google Cloud console.

        Go to the Google Cloud console

      2. Click the switcher list box in the menu bar.
      3. Select your organization from the list box.
      4. Search for your folder name. The folder ID is shown next to the folder name.

      gcloud CLI

      You can retrieve the ID of a Google Cloud folder that's located at the organization level with the following command:

      gcloud resource-manager folders list \
    --organization=$(gcloud organizations describe ORGANIZATION_NAME \
      --format="value(name.segment(1))") \
    --filter='"DISPLAY_NAME":"TOP_LEVEL_FOLDER_NAME"' \
    --format="value(ID)"

      Where TOP_LEVEL_FOLDER_NAME is a partial or full string match for the folder's name. Remove the --format flag to see more information about the found folders.

      The previous command doesn't return the IDs of subfolders within folders. To do so, run the following command using a top level folder's ID:

      gcloud resource-manager folders list --folder=FOLDER_ID

    • organizations/ORGANIZATION_ID, where ORGANIZATION_ID is the ID of the organization that has assets with IAM allow policies you want to search for.

You can use the --format and --flatten flags to format the gcloud CLI output.

See the gcloud CLI reference for all options.
