Context-Aware Access Levels

Notes

This Wiki page was built directly from Jay Lee's Wiki page; my sincere thanks for his efforts.

GAM 6.20.00 and newer can create and manage access levels which can be assigned to Workspace services for your users.

To use these features you must update your project.

gam update project

API documentation

Grant Service Account Rights to Manage CAA

In order for GAM to manage CAA access levels, you need to grant your service account a special role for your GCP organization.

  1. Run a GAM command like gam print caalevels. This will show you the service account email and role you need to grant it. Copy the service account email.
  2. You can also get the value from oauth2service.json: "client_email": "gam-project-abc-123-xyz@gam-project-abc-123-xyz.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
  3. As an organization admin (Workspace Super Admin should work) go to https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam.
  4. In the top blue bar, to the right of Google Cloud Platform click the desired <Project Name>.
  5. If the page shows Permissions for organization <Primary Domain>", skip the next step.
  6. If the page shows Permissions for project <Project Name>", click the building icon immediately to the left of your <Primary Domain> in the Inheritance column.
  7. Near the top click Add.
  8. Enter the service account email address you recorded earlier into the New principals* box.
  9. In the Select a role* box, select Access Context Manager > Access Context Manager Editor.
  10. Click Save. It may take 15 minutes or more for the role permissions to propagate.
  11. Confirm the role is in place by re-running gam print caalevels

  • The combiningfunction argument specifies if a user must pass all 2+ conditions (AND) or only one (OR).
  • The negate argument specifies whether a user that matches the condition passes it or fails.
  • The ipsubnetworks argument specifies a comma-separated list of IPv4 or IPv6 networks the user must be coming from to match.
  • The regions argument specifies a comma-separated list of country/regions the user must be coming from to match.
  • The device policy argument specifies characteristics of the user's device that must be present to match.

Create an Access Level

Create a new access level. CAA supports basic and custom conditions.

gam create caalevel <String> [description <String>] (basic <CAABasicAttribute>+)|(custom <QueryCEL>)|<JSONData>

Example

This example defines a custom access level that requires the user to use a Cloud-managed Chrome browser (CBCM) or be logged into a Cloud-managed Chrome profile.

gam create caalevel custom "device.chrome.management_state == ChromeManagementState.CHROME_MANAGEMENT_STATE_BROWSER_MANAGED | ChromeManagementState.CHROME_MANAGEMENT_STATE_PROFILE_MANAGED"

This example creates a basic access level that requires the user to come from the US or Canada regions

gam create caalevel CORP_COUNTRIES basic condition regions US,CA endcondition

This example creates a basic access level that requires the user come from one of the given IP ranges

gam create caalevel CORP_IPS basic condition ipsubnetworks 1.2.3.0/24,4.5.6.0/24 endcondition

Update an Access Level

Updates an existing access level. CAA supports basic and custom conditions.

gam update caalevel <CAALevelName> [description <String>] (basic <CAABasicAttribute>+)|(custom <QueryCEL>)|<JSONData>

Examples

This example adds UK to the allowed regions for CORP_COUNTRIES

gam update caalevel CORP_COUNTRIES basic condition regions US,CA,UK endcondition

Update Access Levels with JSON

Update existing CAA levels via their JSON data; create a CSV file of CAA levels.

gam redirect csv ./CAAlevels.csv print caalevels formatjson quotechar "'"

Edit the JSON column for the desired CAA level(s) in CAAlevels.csv. Update the desired CAA level by selecting the row by it's title; repeat for each title to update.

gam config csv_input_row_filter "title:text='Example Title'" csv CAAlevels.csv quotechar "'" gam update caalevel "~name" json "~JSON"

Example

Edit CAAlevels.csv and add UK to the allowed regions for CORP_COUNTRIES

{"regions": ["US", "CA", "UK"]}

Do the update.

gam config csv_input_row_filter "title:text='CORP_COUNTRIES'" csv CAAlevels.csv quotechar "'" gam update caalevel "~name" json "~JSON"

Delete an Access Level

Deletes the specified access level.

gam delete caalevel <CAALevelName>

Display all access levels

gam show caalevels
        [formatjson]

By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values:

  • formatjson - Display the fields in JSON format.
gam print caalevels [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]

By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format:

  • formatjson - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled. When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output. The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output. quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.
