gcloud compute disks get-iam-policy

NAME

gcloud compute disks get-iam-policy - get the IAM policy for a Compute Engine disk

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute disks get-iam-policy (DISK : --zone=ZONE) [--filter=EXPRESSION] [--limit=LIMIT] [--page-size=PAGE_SIZE] [--sort-by=[FIELD,…]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute disks get-iam-policy displays the IAM policy associated with a Compute Engine disk in a project. If formatted as JSON, the output can be edited and used as a policy file for set-iam-policy. The output includes an "etag" field identifying the version emitted and allowing detection of concurrent policy updates; see $ {parent} set-iam-policy for additional details.

EXAMPLES

To print the IAM policy for a given disk, run:

gcloud compute disks get-iam-policy my-disk --zone=my-zone

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

Disk resource - The disk to display the IAM policy for. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set the project attribute:

provide the argument disk on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --project on the command line;
set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

DISK

ID of the disk or fully qualified identifier for the disk.

To set the disk attribute:

provide the argument disk on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--zone=ZONE

The name of the Google Compute Engine zone. To set the zone attribute:

provide the argument disk on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --zone on the command line;
set the property compute/zone.

LIST COMMAND FLAGS

--filter=EXPRESSION: Apply a Boolean filter EXPRESSION to each resource item to be listed. If the expression evaluates True, then that item is listed. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.
--limit=LIMIT: Maximum number of resources to list. The default is unlimited. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.
--page-size=PAGE_SIZE: Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies the maximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the service if it supports paging, otherwise it is unlimited (no paging). Paging may be applied before or after --filter and --limit depending on the service.
--sort-by=[FIELD,…]: Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default order is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on that field. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

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 help for details.
