Implement resource hierarchy
A good resource hierarchy reflects your organization and clearly separates and identifies the business units.
Helps in assigning resources to the correct departments and defining the necessary permissions for daily tasks.
Bonus: improves identifying resource ownership as well as tracing and assigning costs.
Managing IAM entities
Integrate your organization’s identity provider to automatically provision users in the cloud.
Grant permissions to groups instead of individuals to merge colleagues requiring the same set of permissions.
Utilize service accounts/users, create accounts for each use case instead of creating a one-fits-all account.
Role/permission assignment
Implement principle of least privilege, everybody receives only the permissions required for daily tasks.
Consider disallowing a subset of too permissive predefined roles by default to avoid over granting access.
If elevated permissions are required in case of e.g. incidents, create an approach to request them temporarily.
Let’s secure the access to your resources together!
