This module manages Cloud Identity Groups and Memberships using the Cloud Identity Group API.

Usage

Basic usage of this module is as follows:

# Required if using User ADCs (Application Default Credentials) for Cloud Identity API.
provider "google-beta" {
  user_project_override = true
  billing_project       = "<PROJECT_ID>"
}

module "group" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/group/google"
  version = "~> 0.1"

  id           = "[email protected]"
  display_name = "example-group"
  description  = "Example group"
  domain       = "example.com"
  owners       = ["[email protected]"]
  managers     = ["[email protected]"]
  members      = ["[email protected]"]
}

Limitations

The provider is still under development, the following are known issues or limitations:

Updating a google_cloud_identity_group_membership to remove a role fails with an error (link).

Updating a google_cloud_identity_group_membership to change the role of a member fails with the following error due to Terraform trying to create the new role assignment before/at the same time as the old one is removed. Rerunning the same deployment twice might resolve the issue.

Error: Error creating GroupMembership: googleapi: Error 409: Error(4003): Cannot create membership '[email protected]' in 'groups/xxx' because it already exists.

Requirements

These sections describe requirements for using this module.

Software

The following dependencies must be available:

Terraform v0.13
Terraform Provider for GCP plugin v2.0

Permissions

A service account or user account needs the following roles to provision the resources of this module:

Google Cloud IAM roles

Service Usage Consumer: roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageConsumer on the billing project
Organization Viewer: roles/resourcemanager.organizationViewer if using domain instead of customer_id

The Project Factory module and the IAM module may be used in combination to provision a service account with the necessary roles applied.

Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) roles

Group Admin role

To make the service account a Group Admin, you must have Google Workspace Super Admin access for your domain. Follow Assigning an admin role to the service account for instructions.

To create groups as an end user, the caller is required to authenticate as a member of the domain, i.e. you cannot use this module to create a group under bar.com with a foo.com user identity.

After the groups have been created, the organization’s Super Admin, Group Admin or any custom role with Groups privilege can always modify and delete the groups and their memberships. In addition, the group’s OWNER and MANAGER can edit membership, and OWNER can delete the group. Documentation around the three group default roles (OWNER, MANAGER and MEMBER) can be found here.

APIs

A project with the following APIs enabled must be used to host the resources of this module:

Cloud Identity API: cloudidentity.googleapis.com

The Project Factory module can be used to provision a project with the necessary APIs enabled.

To use the Cloud Identity Groups API, you must have Google Groups for Business enabled for your domain and allow end users to create groups.
