Policy Intelligence is a suite of tools designed to help you manage
security policies. These tools can help you understand resource usage,
understand and improve existing security policies, and prevent policy
misconfigurations.
Some Policy Intelligence tools are specifically designed to help
manage and optimize Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. With these tools, you
can do tasks like the following:
Analyze existing IAM policies to understand who has access to
what Google Cloud resources
Troubleshoot access issues
Identify and remove excess permissions from principals
