Answer from AI

In Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the following methods are typically used to organize shared access to project resources:

  1. Google Cloud IAM (Identity and Access Management) — the main tool for access management. Through IAM, roles can be assigned to users, groups, or service accounts, defining what actions they can perform with project resources.

  2. Google Workspace or Cloud Identity groups — convenient for creating user groups and assigning permissions to the group to simplify access management for the team.

  3. Service accounts — created for automation and services that need access to resources, with limited permissions.

  4. Shared access to the project — adding users to the project with the necessary roles via the GCP console or gcloud CLI.

Example of assigning a role via gcloud CLI:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding [PROJECT_ID] \
  --member='user:developer@example.com' \
  --role='roles/editor'

Thus, by combining IAM roles and groups, you can flexibly and securely organize shared access for the development team.
