Master Google Cloud's fundamental security perimeter through Identity and Access Management (IAM) and resource hierarchy governance. In this module, you will configure basic, predefined, and custom roles, and apply context-aware IAM Conditions. You will evaluate the differences between IAM Allow/Deny policies and governance-focused Organization Policies. Finally, you will leverage Policy Intelligence tools—Troubleshooter, Analyzer, Recommender, and Simulator—to diagnose access, test changes, and strictly enforce the principle of least privilege.
