Accessing data from GCP using Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a cloud provider that offers manifold services, from cloud computing to Artificial Intelligence (AI), which can be implemented in only a few steps. It also provides broad-spectrum storage called Cloud Storage.

In this recipe, we will build step-by-step policies to control access to data inside our Cloud Storage buckets.

Getting ready

This recipe will use the uniform method, as defined by the Google Cloud team:

  1. First, we will create a testing user. Go to the IAM page (https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam) and select Grant Access. Add a valid Gmail address in the New principals field. For now, this user will only have the Browser role:

  1. Then, we will create a Cloud Storage bucket. Go to the Cloud Storage page and select Create a bucket: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/create...
