OAuth Cloud Identity Group Permissions

Cloud Identity Group Access

OAuth Scope:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-identity.groups.readonly

This allows us to read groups from Google Cloud Identity.

We use it to understand:

  • Cloud Identity groups

  • How groups are used for access control

  • Policy targeting

  • Application access management

This is important because groups can grant access across Google Cloud, Google Workspace, and connected applications. Reviewing them helps identify overbroad access or stale membership.
