Description

Assigning the IAM permission directly to the user increases the security management overhead.

How to fix?

Do not include users in the IAM binding members attribute.

resource "google_project_iam_binding" "allowed" {
  project = "your-project-id"
  role    = "roles/editor"
  members = [
    "group:test@example.com",
  ]
}
