Identity federation: products and limitations

Overview

This page provides details of limitations and the level of support for each Google Cloud product that can use Workforce Identity Federation or Workload Identity Federation, collectively identity federation.

Workforce Identity Federation

Workforce Identity Federation lets your workforce—employees, vendors, partners, and other users—access Google Cloud products by using an identity provider (IdP). Your workforce can access Google Cloud through the Google Cloud Workforce Identity Federation console, also known as the console (federated), the Google Cloud CLI, or a Google Cloud API.

Workforce Identity Federation limitations for the console (federated), the Google Cloud CLI, and Google Cloud API are listed in UI and API entries for each product.

Workload Identity Federation

Workload Identity Federation lets your workloads programmatically access Google Cloud products by using workload-provided identities such as IAM roles for AWS workloads, Kubernetes service accounts for GKE workloads, or GitHub identities for your deployment pipelines.

Workload Identity Federation limitations for the Google Cloud CLI and Google Cloud APIs, collectively API limitations, are listed in Google Cloud API limitations entries for each product, later in this document.

Google Cloud products and limitations

The table in this section lists products, their level of support for identity federation, limitations, and other information.

Organization

The limitations table is organized in the following way:

  • Product: The product name.
  • Identity federation launch stage: Refers to the launch stage of the product's support for identity federation. Launch stage doesn't refer to the launch stage of the product itself.
  • Columns that describe supported products:
    • Google Cloud API: The product's identity federation-related limitations that are associated with API methods and the gcloud CLI commands that access those methods.
    • Console (federated): The product's Workforce Identity Federation-related console (federated) UI limitations.
    • Other: The product's identity federation-related limitations that aren't Google Cloud API or console (federated) limitations.
  • Columns that describe unsupported products:
    • Alternatives: For products that don't support identity federation, this column describes alternative products that support identity federation and provide similar features.

  • When calling the analyzeIamPolicy or the analyzeIamPolicyLongrunning method, federated identities might receive incomplete analysis results because of the following:

    • Federated identities can't check the membership of Google groups in allow policies. As a result, when federated identities analyze access for a principal, the query results don't include permissions and roles that the principal has due to their membership in a group.
    • When analyzing access, federated identities can't enable the expand-groups option.

    Federated identities can't use the following API methods:
