The information provided in this section applies to Cloud Run services
and not Cloud Run jobs.

All Cloud Run services are deployed privately by default,
which means that they can't be accessed without providing authentication
credentials in the request. These services are secured by Identity and Access Management. By
default, services are only callable by *Project Owners* , *Project Editors* , and
*Cloud Run Admins* and *Cloud Run Invokers* . You can
[configure Identity and Access Management, and if allowed, disable Identity and Access Management on Cloud Run services](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/securing/managing-access)
to grant access to additional users.

Common use cases for authentication include:

- [**Allowing public (unauthenticated) access**: unauthenticated service invocations are allowed, making the service publicly accessible.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/authenticating/public)

- [Authenticating **developer** access while a service is in development.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/authenticating/developers)

- [Authenticating **service-to-service** access while building applications
  composed of multiple services.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/authenticating/service-to-service)

- [Authenticating **end-user** access to a service from mobile or web clients.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/authenticating/end-users)
