The web-resource-namerestricted method in ‘google-cloud-resourcemanager’ specifies the behavior for requests that attempt to use resources that are protected with \[Hierarchical Access Control\](https://cloud.google.com/iam/help/deny-access/hierarchical-access-control) policies. By default, requests are rejected if the requestor does not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission for the project that owns the child resource.
This flag can only be set when creating a project. If you set this flag and also specify the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission on the project, requests that attempt to delete the project’s resources will succeed if they have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission and if the `web-resource-namerestricted` field is set to `ignore-other-permissions`. Deleting a project may cause other resources like instances and buckets to be deleted.
For example, if the requestor only has the `compute.instances.update` permission and tries to delete an instance that is owned by a project with the `web-resource-namerestricted` flag set to `ignore-other-permissions` and with `compute.instances.update` permission denied, the request will succeed and that instance will be deleted.
web-resource-namerestricted method/web-resource-name
This flag can only be set when creating a project.
- Protects child resources
- Ignores other permissions
If set, requests using resources protected by hierarchical access control policies may succeed even if the requestor does not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission.
Protects child resources
The `web-resource-namerestricted` flag can be used to protect child resources from deletion by requests that do not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission.
- Hierarchical Access Control
When Hierarchical Access Control (HAC) is enabled on a project, child resources (such as instances and buckets) can be protected by access control policies that deny the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission to specific members.
- Default behavior
By default, requests to delete child resources that are protected by HAC policies will be rejected if the requestor does not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission.
- `web-resource-namerestricted` flag
If the `web-resource-namerestricted` flag is set to `ignore-other-permissions` when a project is created, requests to delete child resources that are protected by HAC policies will succeed even if the requestor does not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission.
- Important considerations
The `web-resource-namerestricted` flag can only be set when a project is created. It cannot be modified after the project is created. Deleting a project may cause other resources like instances and buckets to be deleted.
By setting the `web-resource-namerestricted` flag, you can protect child resources from deletion by requests that do not have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission. This can be useful for preventing accidental deletion of resources, or for enforcing access control policies that restrict the ability to delete resources.
Ignores other permissions
The `web-resource-namerestricted` flag can be used to ignore other permissions when deleting child resources.
- Default behavior
By default, requests to delete child resources are subject to all access control policies that are attached to the child resource. This means that the requestor must have the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission on the project that owns the child resource, as well as any other permissions that are required by the access control policies that are attached to the child resource.
- `web-resource-namerestricted` flag
If the `web-resource-namerestricted` flag is set to `ignore-other-permissions` when a project is created, requests to delete child resources will ignore all access control policies that are attached to the child resource, except for the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission on the project that owns the child resource.
- Important considerations
The `web-resource-namerestricted` flag can only be set when a project is created. It cannot be modified after the project is created. Deleting a project may cause other resources like instances and buckets to be deleted.
- Use cases
The `web-resource-namerestricted` flag can be used in the following scenarios:
- To allow users to delete child resources without having to grant them the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission on the project that owns the child resource.
- To allow users to delete child resources that are protected by access control policies that deny the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission.
By setting the `web-resource-namerestricted` flag to `ignore-other-permissions`, you can allow users to delete child resources without having to grant them the `resourcemanager.projects.delete` permission on the project that owns the child resource. This can be useful for simplifying access control and for allowing users to perform tasks that they would not otherwise be able to perform.
FAQ
