Google Cloud IAM
Google Cloud IAM is the identity and access management service for Google Cloud. It manages access permissions through bindings among members, roles, and resources, and supports fine-grained authorization and centralized auditing.

BigQuery's governance model relies on Google Cloud IAM and Data Catalog, with permissions bound at the GCP project and dataset level, making it difficult to unify in cross-cloud scenarios.
Anthropic hosts the complete Claude API on Google Cloud, controls permissions through Google Cloud IAM, and consolidates it into Google Cloud billing.
Unlike standalone API keys, Google Cloud IAM authorization depends on the caller's identity (such as a service account, user account, or Workload Identity federated identity), and the credentials themselves do not directly carry permissions.
Service accounts are commonly used for server-side calls, and short-lived tokens can be obtained via a key file or the more secure Workload Identity approach.
Controlling Claude API call permissions through Google Cloud IAM allows model invocation permissions to be audited, granted on a least-privilege basis, and constrained by organization policies just like other cloud resources.
Bringing the Claude API into Google Cloud IAM and billing allows reuse of existing cloud contract procurement processes, consolidation into existing cloud bills for cost allocation, and reuse of existing IAM operational practices.
