Configure GCP Cloud Run Job IAM Bindings

The gcp:cloudrunv2/jobIamBinding:JobIamBinding resource, part of the Pulumi GCP provider, manages IAM role bindings for Cloud Run jobs. It controls which identities can invoke, view, or administer jobs by granting roles to lists of members. This guide focuses on two capabilities: granting roles to multiple members and adding individual members to roles.

IAM bindings reference existing Cloud Run jobs and are authoritative for a given role, meaning they replace all members for that role. The examples are intentionally small. Combine them with your own Cloud Run jobs and identity management strategy.

Grant a role to multiple members

Teams managing Cloud Run jobs often need to grant the same role to multiple users or service accounts at once, such as giving viewer access to a team.

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

const binding = new gcp.cloudrunv2.JobIamBinding("binding", {
    project: _default.project,
    location: _default.location,
    name: _default.name,
    role: "roles/viewer",
    members: ["user:jane@example.com"],
});

import pulumi
import pulumi_gcp as gcp

binding = gcp.cloudrunv2.JobIamBinding("binding",
    project=default["project"],
    location=default["location"],
    name=default["name"],
    role="roles/viewer",
    members=["user:jane@example.com"])

package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/sdk/v9/go/gcp/cloudrunv2"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := cloudrunv2.NewJobIamBinding(ctx, "binding", &cloudrunv2.JobIamBindingArgs{
			Project:  pulumi.Any(_default.Project),
			Location: pulumi.Any(_default.Location),
			Name:     pulumi.Any(_default.Name),
			Role:     pulumi.String("roles/viewer"),
			Members: pulumi.StringArray{
				pulumi.String("user:jane@example.com"),
			},
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    {
        Project = @default.Project,
        Location = @default.Location,
        Name = @default.Name,
        Role = "roles/viewer",

      name: ${default.name}
      role: roles/viewer
      members:
        - user:jane@example.com

The JobIamBinding resource is authoritative for the specified role. When you set members, you replace all existing members for that role on the job. The role property specifies the IAM role (predefined or custom), and members lists all identities that should have that role. Each member uses a specific format: user:email, serviceAccount:email, group:email, or special identifiers like allUsers.

Add a single member to a role

When onboarding individual users or granting access to specific service accounts, you often need to add one identity without affecting others who already have that role.

The JobIamMember resource is non-authoritative. It adds a single member to a role while preserving other members who already have that role. Use this when you want incremental access grants rather than replacing the entire member list. The member property takes a single identity in the same format as the members array in JobIamBinding.

Beyond these examples

These snippets focus on specific IAM binding features: role-based access control and authoritative vs non-authoritative member management. They’re intentionally minimal rather than full access control configurations.

The examples reference pre-existing infrastructure such as Cloud Run jobs (by name, project, and location). They focus on configuring IAM bindings rather than provisioning the jobs themselves.

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

Conditional IAM bindings (condition property)
Full policy management (JobIamPolicy resource)
Custom role definitions
Federated identity configuration

These omissions are intentional: the goal is to illustrate how IAM bindings are wired, not provide drop-in access control modules. See the Cloud Run Job IAM Binding resource reference for all available configuration options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Resource Selection & Conflicts

What's the difference between JobIamPolicy, JobIamBinding, and JobIamMember?

JobIamPolicy is authoritative and replaces the entire IAM policy. JobIamBinding is authoritative for a specific role, replacing all members for that role while preserving other roles. JobIamMember is non-authoritative and adds a single member to a role without affecting existing members.

Can I use JobIamPolicy with JobIamBinding or JobIamMember?

No, JobIamPolicy cannot be used with JobIamBinding or JobIamMember because they will conflict over the policy state.

Can I use JobIamBinding and JobIamMember together?

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

Configuration & Usage

How do I grant a role to multiple users at once?

Use JobIamBinding with the members array containing multiple identities, such as ["user:jane@example.com", "user:john@example.com"].

How do I add a single member without affecting existing members?

Use JobIamMember with the member property (singular) to add one identity non-authoritatively.

What properties are immutable after creation?

The location, name, project, and role properties cannot be changed after creation.

Member Identities & Roles

What member identity formats are supported?

Supported formats include allUsers, allAuthenticatedUsers, user:{email}, serviceAccount:{email}, group:{email}, domain:{domain}, projectOwner:{projectid}, projectEditor:{projectid}, projectViewer:{projectid}, and federated identities like principal://iam.googleapis.com/....

How do I use custom IAM roles?

Custom roles must use the format [projects|organizations]/{parent-name}/roles/{role-name}, such as projects/my-project/roles/my-custom-role.

Import & Advanced

What import formats are supported?

You can import using projects/{{project}}/locations/{{location}}/jobs/{{name}}, {{project}}/{{location}}/{{name}}, {{location}}/{{name}}, or just {{name}}. Missing values are taken from the provider configuration.
