Yeah, that makes sense. We don't want to give the user more access than they actually require. Gotta keep that principle of least privilege in mind, you know?

Ah, I see what you mean. Option D sounds like the best choice then - create a custom role based on Compute Storage Admin, but remove any extra permissions that the external user doesn't need.

I agree, a custom role is the way to go. But I'm not sure if we should be adding all the compute.disks.list and compute.images.list permissions. Maybe we can base it on an existing role and then exclude any unnecessary permissions?

Hmm, this seems like a tricky question. We need to follow the Google-recommended practices, so I think the best approach is to create a custom role with the specific permissions required, rather than just granting a broad admin role.
