- First, you need to authenticate with GCP using the
google-authandgoogle-auth-oauthliblibraries. You can use the following code to authenticate:
- Next, you need to list all the buckets in your GCP project using the following code:
- For each bucket, you need to check if the
allUsersgroup has theWRITERrole. You can do this using the following code:
- The above code will change the
WRITERrole of theallUsersgroup toREADER. You can verify the changes by running the following code:
allUsers group now has the READER role instead of the WRITER role.Note: This code assumes that you have the necessary permissions to modify the bucket access control lists.
