The gcp:dataproc/metastoreTableIamMember:MetastoreTableIamMember resource, part of the Pulumi GCP provider, manages IAM permissions for Dataproc Metastore tables by adding individual members to roles without affecting existing permissions. This guide focuses on three capabilities: non-authoritative member addition, role-level binding management, and complete policy replacement.
Dataproc Metastore table IAM resources reference existing Metastore services, databases, and tables. The examples are intentionally small. Combine them with your own Metastore infrastructure and organizational IAM policies.
Replace the entire IAM policy for a table
When you need complete control over table access, you can set the entire IAM policy at once, replacing any existing permissions.

The MetastoreTableIamPolicy resource is authoritative: it replaces the entire IAM policy for the table. The policyData comes from getIAMPolicy, which defines bindings between roles and members. This approach gives you complete control but overwrites any permissions not explicitly listed. MetastoreTableIamPolicy cannot be used alongside MetastoreTableIamBinding or MetastoreTableIamMember, as they would conflict over policy ownership.
Grant a role to multiple members at once
Teams often need to grant the same role to several users or service accounts simultaneously, such as giving viewer access to an analytics team.

The MetastoreTableIamBinding resource is authoritative for a specific role: it sets the complete list of members for that role while preserving other roles in the policy. The members array accepts user accounts, service accounts, groups, and special identifiers like allUsers. You can use multiple MetastoreTableIamBinding resources for different roles, but only one binding per role.
Add a single member to a role incrementally
When onboarding individual users or service accounts, you can add them to existing roles without affecting other members who already have access.

The MetastoreTableIamMember resource is non-authoritative: it adds one member to a role without modifying other members. This is the safest option when multiple teams manage access independently. The member property accepts the same identity formats as MetastoreTableIamBinding (users, service accounts, groups, domains). You can combine MetastoreTableIamMember with MetastoreTableIamBinding as long as they don’t grant the same role.
Beyond these examples
These snippets focus on specific IAM management features: authoritative and non-authoritative IAM management, and role and member-level permission grants. They’re intentionally minimal rather than full access control solutions.
The examples reference pre-existing infrastructure such as Dataproc Metastore service (serviceId), and Metastore database and table (databaseId, table). They focus on configuring IAM permissions rather than provisioning the Metastore infrastructure itself.
To keep things focused, common IAM patterns are omitted, including:
- Conditional IAM bindings (condition property)
- Custom role definitions
- Federated identity principals
- Project-level role shortcuts (projectOwner, projectEditor, projectViewer)
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 Dataproc Metastore Table IAM Member resource reference for all available configuration options.

Resource Selection & Conflicts
gcp.dataproc.MetastoreTableIamPolicy cannot be used with gcp.dataproc.MetastoreTableIamBinding or gcp.dataproc.MetastoreTableIamMember because they’ll conflict over policy management. Use MetastoreTableIamPolicy alone for full control, or use IamBinding/IamMember together (ensuring they don’t grant the same role).MetastoreTableIamPolicy is authoritative and replaces the entire IAM policy. MetastoreTableIamBinding is authoritative per role, replacing all members for that specific role while preserving other roles. MetastoreTableIamMember is non-authoritative, adding a single member to a role without affecting existing members.Configuration & Identity Management
member parameter supports: allUsers, allAuthenticatedUsers, user:{email}, serviceAccount:{email}, group:{email}, domain:{domain}, projectOwner/Editor/Viewer:{projectid}, and federated identities like principal://iam.googleapis.com/locations/global/workforcePools/....[projects|organizations]/{parent-name}/roles/{role-name}. For example, projects/my-project/roles/my-custom-role or organizations/my-org/roles/my-custom-role.databaseId, location, member, project, role, serviceId, table, condition) are immutable. You must recreate the resource to change any of these values.
