- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute forwarding-rules test-iam-permissionstests the IAM permissions that a caller has on a Compute Engine forwarding rule. - EXAMPLES
-
To test if the caller has the
compute.forwardingRules.setIamPolicypermission on the regional forwarding rulemy-forwarding-rulein regionus-central1, run:gcloud alpha compute forwarding-rules test-iam-permissions my-forwarding-rule --region=us-central1 --permissions=compute.forwardingRules.setIamPolicyTo test if the caller has the
compute.globalForwardingRules.setIamPolicypermission on the global forwarding rulemy-forwarding-rule, run:gcloud alpha compute forwarding-rules test-iam-permissions my-forwarding-rule --global --permissions=compute.globalForwardingRules.setIamPolicy - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
NAME- Name of the forwarding rule to test-iam-permissions.
- REQUIRED FLAGS

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
