Which IAM role grants read-only access to all GCP resources?

Accepted Answer

The roles/viewer IAM role grants read-only access to all GCP resources, allowing users to view but not modify them. This role is ideal for auditing and monitoring purposes. In contrast, roles/editor and roles/browser offer more privileges, while roles/reader is not a valid role. The correct answer stands out due to its specific read-only permission.
