- gcloud alpha compute target-tcp-proxies test-iam-permissions - test IAM permissions for a target TCP proxy
- SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute target-tcp-proxies test-iam-permissionsNAME--permissions=[PERMISSION,…] [--global|--region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute target-tcp-proxies test-iam-permissionstests the IAM permissions that a caller has on a target TCP proxy.Note: This operation is designed to be used for building permission-aware UIs and command-line tools, not for authorization checking. This operation may "fail open" without warning.
- EXAMPLES
-
To test if the caller has 'compute.targetTcpProxies.get' permission on a global
target TCP proxy 'my-proxy', run:
gcloud alpha compute target-tcp-proxies test-iam-permissions my-proxy --permissions=compute.targetTcpProxies.getTo test permissions on a regional target TCP proxy 'my-regional-proxy' in region 'us-central1', run:
gcloud alpha compute target-tcp-proxies test-iam-permissions my-regional-proxy --region=us-central1 --permissions=compute.targetTcpProxies.get - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
NAME- Name of the target TCP proxy to test IAM permissions for.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--permissions=[PERMISSION,…]- Set of permissions to check for the resource.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--global- If set, the target TCP proxy is global.
--region=REGION-
Region of the target TCP proxy to test IAM permissions for. If not specified,
you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION

At most one of these can be specified:
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$ gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
-
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access
allowlist. These variants are also available:
