This course looks at logging and monitoring access control on Google Cloud Platform. We start by looking at monitoring IAM, and you'll also learn about the IAM permissions and roles that apply specifically to monitoring. A demonstration from the GCP cloud console will show you how to grant monitoring permissions through role assignments.

Then we'll move on to monitoring access control via VPC Service Controls as well as covering cloud logging access control. We’ll start with an overview, before taking a closer look at specific IAM roles and permissions that are used to grant access to Cloud Logging. Finally, we'll look at Logs Explorer permissions and show which permissions you need to export logs.
