Manage GCP Apigee Environment IAM Access

The gcp:apigee/environmentIamMember:EnvironmentIamMember resource, part of the Pulumi GCP provider, manages IAM permissions for Apigee environments by granting roles to individual members, groups of members, or replacing entire policies. This guide focuses on three capabilities: non-authoritative single-member grants, authoritative role-level member lists, and complete policy replacement.

The three IAM resource types (EnvironmentIamMember, EnvironmentIamBinding, EnvironmentIamPolicy) reference existing Apigee environments and have strict compatibility rules. EnvironmentIamPolicy cannot be combined with the other two types; EnvironmentIamBinding and EnvironmentIamMember can coexist only if they manage different roles. The examples are intentionally small. Choose the resource type that matches your permission management strategy.

Grant a role to a single member non-authoritatively

When you need to add one person or service account without affecting other permissions, EnvironmentIamMember provides incremental access control.

import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

const member = new gcp.apigee.EnvironmentIamMember("member", {
    orgId: apigeeEnvironment.orgId,
    envId: apigeeEnvironment.name,
    role: "roles/viewer",
    member: "user:jane@example.com",
});

import pulumi_gcp as gcp

member = gcp.apigee.EnvironmentIamMember("member",

      role: roles/viewer
      member: user:jane@example.com

The member property specifies a single identity in the format user:email, serviceAccount:email, group:email, or other supported formats. This resource adds the member to the role without removing other members who already have that role. The orgId and envId properties identify the target environment.

Grant a role to multiple members authoritatively

When you need to define the complete membership list for a specific role, EnvironmentIamBinding replaces all existing members for that role.

The members property takes an array of identities. This resource is authoritative for the specified role: it replaces the complete member list for that role while preserving other roles in the environment. If another member had this role before, they lose it unless explicitly listed in members.

Replace the entire IAM policy authoritatively

When you need complete control over all IAM bindings, EnvironmentIamPolicy replaces the entire policy document.

const admin = gcp.organizations.getIAMPolicy({
    bindings: [{

            members:
              - user:jane@example.com

The policyData property accepts output from gcp.organizations.getIAMPolicy, which defines all role bindings in a single structure. This resource is fully authoritative: it removes any permissions not explicitly defined in the policy. You cannot use EnvironmentIamPolicy alongside EnvironmentIamBinding or EnvironmentIamMember, as they will conflict over policy ownership.

Beyond these examples

These snippets focus on specific IAM management features: incremental vs authoritative permission management, and single-member and multi-member role grants. They’re intentionally minimal rather than full access control configurations.

The examples reference pre-existing infrastructure such as Apigee environments (orgId and envId references). They focus on permission assignment rather than environment provisioning.

To keep things focused, common IAM patterns are omitted, including:

Conditional IAM bindings (condition property)
Custom role definitions and formatting
Service account and federated identity configuration
Policy conflict resolution between resource types

These omissions are intentional: the goal is to illustrate how each IAM resource type is wired, not provide drop-in access control modules. See the Apigee EnvironmentIamMember resource reference for all available configuration options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Resource Selection & Conflicts

Which IAM resource should I use for Apigee environments?

You have three options:

EnvironmentIamPolicy - Authoritative, replaces the entire IAM policy
EnvironmentIamBinding - Authoritative for a specific role, preserves other roles
EnvironmentIamMember - Non-authoritative, adds a single member to a role while preserving other members

Can I use EnvironmentIamPolicy with EnvironmentIamBinding or EnvironmentIamMember?

No, EnvironmentIamPolicy cannot be used with EnvironmentIamBinding or EnvironmentIamMember because they will conflict over the policy configuration.

Can I use EnvironmentIamBinding and EnvironmentIamMember together?

Yes, but only if they don’t grant privileges to the same role. Using both for the same role will cause conflicts.

Configuration & Formats

What member identity formats are supported?

The member parameter supports multiple formats:

allUsers or allAuthenticatedUsers for broad access
user:{email}, serviceAccount:{email}, group:{email} for specific identities
domain:{domain} for G Suite domains
projectOwner/Editor/Viewer:{projectid} for project-level roles
principal://... for federated identities (workload/workforce pools)

How do I specify custom roles?

Custom roles must use the full path format: [projects|organizations]/{parent-name}/roles/{role-name}. For example, projects/my-project/roles/my-custom-role or organizations/my-org/roles/my-custom-role.

What format does orgId require?

The orgId must be in the format organizations/{{org_name}}.

Immutability & Lifecycle

What properties can't be changed after creation?

All core properties are immutable: envId, member, orgId, role, and condition. Changes to any of these require recreating the resource.
