Parameters

The following arguments are supported:

  • member/members - (Required) Identities that will be granted the privilege in role. Each entry can have one of the following values:

    • allUsers: A special identifier that represents anyone who is on the internet; with or without a Google account.
    • allAuthenticatedUsers: A special identifier that represents anyone who is authenticated with a Google account or a service account.
    • user:[emailid]: An email address that represents a specific Google account. For example, alice@gmail.com or joe@example.com.

    • group:[emailid]: An email address that represents a Google group. For example, admins@example.com.
    • domain:[domain]: A G Suite domain (primary, instead of alias) name that represents all the users of that domain. For example, google.com or example.com.
  • role - (Required) The role that should be applied. Only one google_pubsub_subscription_iam_binding can be used per role. Note that custom roles must be of the format [projects|organizations]/[parent-name]/roles/[role-name].

  • policy_data - (Required only by google_pubsub_subscription_iam_policy) The policy data generated by a google_iam_policy data source.


  • project - (Optional) The project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Three different resources help you manage your IAM policy for pubsub subscription. Each of these resources serves a different use case:

  • google_pubsub_subscription_iam_policy: Authoritative. Sets the IAM policy for the subscription and replaces any existing policy already attached.
  • google_pubsub_subscription_iam_binding: Authoritative for a given role. Updates the IAM policy to grant a role to a list of members. Other roles within the IAM policy for the subscription are preserved.
  • google_pubsub_subscription_iam_member: Non-authoritative. Updates the IAM policy to grant a role to a new member. Other members for the role for the subscription are preserved.

    Note: google_pubsub_subscription_iam_policy cannot be used in conjunction with google_pubsub_subscription_iam_binding and google_pubsub_subscription_iam_member or they will fight over what your policy should be.

    Note: google_pubsub_subscription_iam_binding resources can be used in conjunction with google_pubsub_subscription_iam_member resources only if they do not grant privilege to the same role.
