Description
Service accounts should not have admin privileges as they give full access to an assigned application or a VM, and a service account can perform critical actions like delete, update, etc. without user intervention.
How to fix?
Remove any administrative roles from service accounts. Administrative roles include roles that have any of the following suffixes admin, roles/editor and roles/owner.
Example Configuration
resource "google_project_iam_member" "valid" {
role = "roles/viewer"
member = google_service_account.valid.email
}
resource "google_service_account" "valid" {
account_id = "service-account-id"
display_name = "Service Account"
}
