    • Assign roles to multiple users with IAM groups

    Groups enable you to assign the same roles to multiple users or service accounts at once

    Objective

    Groups enable you to assign the same roles to multiple users or service accounts at once.

    groups

    By default, some groups are pre-generated by Data Platform for you to use directly. These are called default groups and they cannot be deleted.

    For example, the default group Data Engineers in the Project IAM gives its members editor roles for the Data Processing Engine, the Lakehouse Manager and the Analytics Manager.

    Info

    Note that Groups exist both in the Project and Organization IAMs. The screenshots in this article have been taken in the Project IAM, but the steps are the same in the Organization IAM.

    To create a group, head to the Groups tab of the Identity Access Manager. Click on New group.

    Assign users or service accounts to a group

    To add users or service accounts into a group, open the group and head to the corresponding tab.

    groups

    You can see the list of users / service accounts who are currently part of the group. Users, like service accounts, can be in multiple groups: they wind up having all the roles associated to any group they are part of.

    groups

    To add users / service accounts into the group, click on Add then select all the Project users / service accounts that you want to add to the group.
