What happens when you remove a member from the IAM list on GCP?
When you remove a member from the IAM list on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), it affects the member's access and permissions within the GCP environment. IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a important aspect of resource access control in GCP, allowing you to manage and control who can access your resources and what actions they can perform.
When a member is removed from the IAM list, their access to GCP resources is revoked, and they will no longer have the permissions assigned to them. This means that they will no longer be able to perform any actions or access any resources that were previously granted to them through IAM.
The removal of a member from the IAM list is an irreversible action, and it is important to consider the implications before removing someone. Once a member is removed, they will need to be added back to the IAM list if they require access to GCP resources again.
It is worth noting that removing a member from the IAM list does not delete any resources or data associated with that member. It only affects their ability to access and manipulate those resources within the GCP environment. The actual resources and data will remain intact unless explicitly deleted or modified by another user with appropriate permissions.
To illustrate this further, let's consider an example. Suppose you have a project in GCP with multiple members assigned different roles and permissions. If you remove a member who had the role of "Editor" from the IAM list, they will lose their ability to edit or modify any resources within that project. They will no longer be able to create, update, or delete any resources or perform any actions that were previously granted to them as an Editor.
Removing a member from the IAM list on GCP revokes their access and permissions to GCP resources. It is an irreversible action that does not delete any resources or data associated with the member. Careful consideration should be given before removing a member to ensure that their access is no longer required.
