services / Google Cloud / Compute Engine managed instances

Create and alter managed instances.

Allows access to general core VM infrastructure, which can support a broad array of organizational functions. Note that the terms "instance" and "VM" are interchangeable within the compute engine documentation, although may have semantic differences within these privileges.

compute.​instances.​addResourcePolicies

Requires an existing resource policy and `compute.resourcePolicies.use` or `compute.resourcePolicies.useReadOnly` on the policy. Resource policies can automatically start or stop instances.

Risks

1. Denial-of-service (HIGH)
2. Spend (MEDIUM)

Scope: HIGH

This privilege may grant access to sensitive data from a single organizational function, or allow interruption of a service supporting a single organizational function.
