- NAME
-
- gcloud alpha run instances set-iam-policy - set the IAM policy for a instance
- SYNOPSIS
-
-
gcloud alpha run instances set-iam-policyINSTANCEPOLICY_FILE[--region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)This command replaces the existing IAM policy for a instance, given a instance and a file encoded in JSON or YAML that contains the IAM policy. If the given policy file specifies an "etag" value, then the replacement will succeed only if the policy already in place matches that etag. (An etag obtain viaget-iam-policywill prevent the replacement if the policy for the instance has been subsequently updated.) A policy file that does not contain an etag value will replace any existing policy for the instance. - EXAMPLES
-
The following command will read an IAM policy defined in a JSON file
'policy.json' and set it for a instance with identifier 'my-instance'
gcloud alpha run instances set-iam-policy --region=us-central1 my-instance policy.jsonSee https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/managing-policies for details of the policy file format and contents.
