Create and manage security profile groups

This page explains how to create and manage security profile groups with a custom security profile by using the Google Cloud CLI.

Before you begin

• You must enable the Network Security API in your project.

• Install the gcloud CLI if you want to run the gcloud command-line examples in this guide.

• You must have a custom mirroring security profile.

Roles

To get the permissions that you need to create, view, update, or delete security profile groups, ask your administrator to grant you the necessary Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles on your organization. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

To check the progress of the operations listed on this page, make sure that your user role has the following Compute Network User role (roles/compute.networkUser) permissions:

• networksecurity.operations.get
• networksecurity.operations.list

Create a security profile group with custom profile

You can only create a security profile group with a security profile of type CUSTOM_MIRRORING.

When you create a security profile group, you can specify the name of the security profile group as a string or as a unique URL identifier. The unique URL for an organization-scoped security profile group can be constructed in the following format:

  organizations/ORGANIZATION_ID/locations/LOCATION/securityProfileGroups/SECURITY_PROFILE_GROUP_NAME

Replace the following:

• ORGANIZATION_ID: ID of the organization.

• LOCATION: scope of the security profile group. Location is always set to global.

• SECURITY_PROFILE_GROUP_NAME: the name of the security profile group.

If you use a unique URL identifier for the security profile group name, the organization and location of the security profile group is already included in the URL identifier. However, if you use only the security profile group name, you must specify the organization and location separately. For more information about unique URL identifiers, see Specifications.

  name                     = "security-profile-group"
  parent                   = "organizations/${data.google_organization.default.org_id}"
  location                 = "global"
