pulumi/pulumi-gcp

    This data source provides a google oauth2 access_token for a different service account than the one initially running the script.

    For more information see the official documentation as well as iamcredentials.generateAccessToken()

    Example Usage

    To allow service_A to impersonate service_B, grant the Service Account Token Creator on B to A.

    In the IAM policy below, service_A is given the Token Creator role impersonate service_B

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

const token_creator_iam = new gcp.serviceaccount.IAMBinding("token-creator-iam", {
    serviceAccountId: "projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
    role: "roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator",
    members: ["serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com"],
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_gcp as gcp

token_creator_iam = gcp.serviceaccount.IAMBinding("token-creator-iam",
    service_account_id="projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
    role="roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator",
    members=["serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com"])

    package main

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

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := serviceaccount.NewIAMBinding(ctx, "token-creator-iam", &serviceaccount.IAMBindingArgs{
			ServiceAccountId: pulumi.String("projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com"),
			Role:             pulumi.String("roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator"),
			Members: pulumi.StringArray{
				pulumi.String("serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com"),
			},
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Gcp = Pulumi.Gcp;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var token_creator_iam = new Gcp.ServiceAccount.IAMBinding("token-creator-iam", new()
    {
        ServiceAccountId = "projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
        Role = "roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator",
        Members = new[]
        {
            "serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
        },
    });

});

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Pulumi.run(App::stack);
    }

    public static void stack(Context ctx) {
        var token_creator_iam = new IAMBinding("token-creator-iam", IAMBindingArgs.builder()
            .serviceAccountId("projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com")
            .role("roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator")
            .members("serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com")
            .build());

    }
}

    resources:
  token-creator-iam:
    type: gcp:serviceaccount:IAMBinding
    properties:
      serviceAccountId: projects/-/serviceAccounts/service_B@projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com
      role: roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator
      members:
        - serviceAccount:service_A@projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com

    Once the IAM permissions are set, you can apply the new token to a provider bootstrapped with it. Any resources that references the aliased provider will run as the new identity.

    In the example below, gcp.organizations.Project will run as service_B.

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

    const _default = await gcp.organizations.getClientConfig({});

    Using getAccountAccessToken

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getAccountAccessToken(args: GetAccountAccessTokenArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetAccountAccessTokenResult>
function getAccountAccessTokenOutput(args: GetAccountAccessTokenOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetAccountAccessTokenResult>
    def get_account_access_token(delegates: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None,
                             lifetime: Optional[str] = None,
                             scopes: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None,
                             target_service_account: Optional[str] = None,
                             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetAccountAccessTokenResult
def get_account_access_token_output(delegates: Optional[pulumi.Input[Sequence[pulumi.Input[str]]]] = None,
                             lifetime: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                             scopes: Optional[pulumi.Input[Sequence[pulumi.Input[str]]]] = None,
                             target_service_account: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetAccountAccessTokenResult]
    func GetAccountAccessToken(ctx *Context, args *GetAccountAccessTokenArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*GetAccountAccessTokenResult, error)
func GetAccountAccessTokenOutput(ctx *Context, args *GetAccountAccessTokenOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) GetAccountAccessTokenResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named GetAccountAccessToken in the Go SDK.
