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.

Example Configuration

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