Control access with IAM
Cloud Profiler controls access to profiling activities in Google Cloud projects by using Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions.
Overview
To use Cloud Profiler for a Google Cloud project, you must have the appropriate IAM permissions on that project.
Permissions are not granted directly to users; permissions are instead granted indirectly through roles, which group permissions. For more information on these concepts, see the IAM documentation on roles, permissions, and related concepts.
