- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)Create a new cloud access binding. The access level and/or session settings will be globally bound to the group.To apply an access level and/or session settings to a specific application, specify the restricted application in the
--binding-file. In this case, the access level and/or session settings specified in the binding file will be bound to the group and the restricted applications.The access level can also be bound to a specific service account or all service accounts in a specified project.
- EXAMPLES
-
To create a new cloud access binding, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abcTo create a new cloud access binding for particular applications (with access levels and/or session settings) using a YAML file, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --organization='1234567890' --binding-file='binding.yaml'To create a new global cloud access binding, and for particular applications using a yaml file, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --organization='1234567890' --binding-file='binding.yaml'To create a new cloud access binding for the dry run access level, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --dry-run-level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/defTo create a new cloud access binding with global session settings, specify your session length using an ISO duration string and the
session-lengthflag. For example:gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --organization='1234567890' --session-length=2hTo set a particular session reauth method for these session settings, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --organization='1234567890' --session-length=2h --session-reauth-method=LOGINGlobal and per-app session settings can be set on the same group, along with access levels. For example:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --group-key=my-group-key --organization='1234567890' --session-length=2h --session-reauth-method=LOGIN --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --dry-run-level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/def --binding-file='binding.yaml'To create a new cloud access binding for a particular service account, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --service-account=service-account@project.iam.gserviceaccount.com --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --organization='1234567890'To create a new cloud access binding for all service accounts in a particular project, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --service-account-project-number='987654321' --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --organization='1234567890'To create a new cloud access binding for a specific federated principal, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --federated-principal='//iam.googleapis.com/projects/1234567890/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/my-pool/subject/my-subject' --level=accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc --organization='1234567890'To create a new cloud access binding for all workforce identities in a given org, run:
gcloud alpha access-context-manager cloud-bindings create --federated-principal='principalSet://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/organizations/ORG_NUMBER/type/WorkforcePool' --organization='1234567890' --binding-file='binding.yaml' - FLAGS

--binding-file=YAML_FILE-
Path to the file that contains a Google Cloud Platform user access binding.
This file contains a YAML-compliant object representing a GcpUserAccessBinding (as described in the API reference: https://docs.cloud.google.com/access-context-manager/docs/apply-policies-to-user-groups#define_configurations_for_specific_applications) containing ScopedAccessSettings only. No other binding fields are allowed. For bindings tied to all workforce identities in a given org, the ScopedAccessSettings must only contain
sessionSettingswithin theactiveSettingslist. No other fields are allowed. --dry-run-level=[DRY_RUN_LEVEL,…]-
The dry run access level that binds to the given group. The dry run access level
will be evaluated but won't be enforced. Denial on dry run access level will be
logged. The input must be the full identifier of an access level, such as
accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/new-def. --federated-principal=FEDERATED_PRINCIPAL-
IAM federated principal that this binding applies to. Can be a single principal
or a principal set. Used to assign policies to third-party workforce or workload
identities. At most one of
--group-key,--federated-principal,--service-account, or--service-account-project-numbercan be specified. --group-key=GROUP_KEY-
Google Group ID whose members are subject to the restrictions of this binding.
At most one of
--group-key,--federated-principal,--service-account, or--service-account-project-numbercan be specified. --level=[LEVEL,…]-
The access level that binds to the given group. The input must be the full
identifier of an access level, such as
accessPolicies/123/accessLevels/abc. --organization=ORGANIZATION- Parent organization for this binding.
--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT-
Service account email that this binding applies to. Used to assign policies to a
single first-party service account. At most one of
--group-key,--federated-principal,--service-account, or--service-account-project-numbercan be specified. --service-account-project-number=SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_NUMBER-
Project number of the project that contains the service accounts that are
subject to the restrictions of this binding. Used to assign policies to all
service accounts in a Google Cloud project. At most one of
--group-key,--federated-principal,--service-account, or--service-account-project-numbercan be specified. --session-length=SESSION_LENGTH-
The maximum lifetime of a user session provided as an ISO 8601 duration string.
For Cloud Identity users, this must be at least one hour or zero seconds, and no
more than twenty-four hours. For workforce identities, this can be up to 90
days, or 14 days for Cloud Console. Granularity is limited to seconds.
When --session-length=0 then users in the group attached to this binding will have infinite session length, effectively disabling session.
A session begins when a user signs-in successfully. If a user signs out before the end of the session lifetime, a new login creates a new session with a fresh lifetime. When a session expires, the user is asked to re-authenticate in accordance with session-method.
Setting
--session-reauth-methodwhen--session-lengthis empty raises an error. This parameter is not supported for bindings tied to all workforce identities in an organization. --session-reauth-method=SESSION_REAUTH_METHOD; default="login"-
Specifies the type of re-authentication challenge given to the user when their
session expires. Defaults to
--session-reauth-method=loginif unspecified and--session-lengthis set. Cannot be used when--session-lengthis empty or 0. This parameter is not supported for bindings tied to all workforce identities in an organization.SESSION_REAUTH_METHODmust be one of:login- The user must complete a regular login.
password- The user will only be required to enter their password.
security-key- The user must re-autheticate using their security key. Before enabling this session reauth method, ensure a security key is properly configured for the user.
