Google Service Account Module

This module allows simplified creation and management of one a service account and its IAM bindings.

Note that outputs have no dependencies on IAM bindings to prevent resource cycles.

Simple Example

module "myproject-default-service-accounts" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "vm-default"
  # authoritative roles granted *on* the service accounts to other identities
  iam = {
    "roles/iam.serviceAccountUser" = ["group:${var.group_email}"]
  }
  # non-authoritative roles granted *to* the service accounts on other resources
  iam_project_roles = {
    "${var.project_id}" = [
      "roles/logging.logWriter",
      "roles/monitoring.metricWriter",
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4 inventory=basic.yaml e2e

IAM

IAM is managed via several variables that implement different features and levels of control.

The following variables control IAM bindings where this module's managed service account is the resource, and they conform to the standard interface adopted across all other modules:

  • iam and iam_by_principals configure authoritative bindings that manage individual roles exclusively, and are internally merged
  • iam_bindings configure authoritative bindings with optional support for conditions, and are not internally merged with the previous two variables
  • iam_bindings_additive configure additive bindings via individual role/member pairs with optional support conditions

The authoritative and additive approaches can be used together, provided different roles are managed by each. Some care must also be taken with the iam_by_principals variable to ensure that variable keys are static values, so that Terraform is able to compute the dependency graph. Refer to the project module for examples of the IAM interface.

The following variables control additive IAM bindings on external resources where this module's managed service account is the principal:

  • iam_billing_roles
  • iam_folder_roles
  • iam_organization_roles
  • iam_project_roles
  • iam_sa_roles
  • iam_storage_roles

IAM also supports variable interpolation for both roles and principals and for the foreign resources where the service account is the principal, via the respective attributes in the var.context variable. Basic usage is shown in the example below.

module "service-account-with-tags" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "test-service-account"
  context = {
    folder_ids = {
      test = "folders/1234567890"
    }
  }
  iam_billing_roles = {
    "ABCDE-12345-ABCDE" = [
      "roles/billing.user"
    ]
  }
  iam_folder_roles = {
    "$folder_ids:test" = [
      "roles/resourcemanager.folderAdmin"
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=iam.yaml

Tag Bindings

Use the tag_bindings variable to attach tags to the service account. Provide project_number to prevent potential permadiffs with the tag binding resource.

module "service-account-with-tags" {
  source         = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id     = var.project_id
  name           = "test-service-account"
  project_number = var.project_number
  tag_bindings = {
    foo = "tagValues/123456789"
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=tags.yaml
