In Google Cloud Platform (GCP), resources are organized hierarchically using organization nodes, folders, and projects. Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to set policies at each of these levels. Considering this hierarchical structure, when different IAM policies are applied at these various levels, what determines the effective policy at a specific node within the hierarchy?
Explanation:
The effective policy for a resource in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is determined by the union of the policy set at the resource itself and the policies inherited from its parent nodes within the hierarchy. This means that permissions granted at higher levels in the hierarchy are inherited by lower levels, and combined with the permissions set directly at the specific resource. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
