Managing SSH access with Compute User Accounts

Monday, October 19, 2015

Compute User Accountssetup steps

Create VM accounts and groups just once to be used on all the VMs

Grant users SSH access and the ability to rotate keys without providing full project editor/owner rights

View at a glance the VM accounts and keys in your project

Be sure that all accounts on VMs will be disabled when the Google ID owning them is deleted or disabled. This means when an employee leaves the company, they'll no longer be able to SSH into your VMs.
