Description

Assigning IAM users with project-level 'Service Account User' or 'Service Account Token Creator' roles means that they can potentially access resources across an entire project. IAM users should be assigned to a specific service account with more scoped access.

How to fix?

Remove roles/iam.serviceAccountUser and roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator from project level bindings.

Example Configuration

resource "google_project_iam_member" "allowed" {
  project = "your-project-id"
  role    = "roles/editor"
  member  = "user:jane@example.com"
}
