GCP Sudo & Unsudo Scripts

These scripts allow users to elevate their permissions (sudo) and revert them back (unsudo) within a Google Cloud Platform project.

Sudo Script

The sudo script grants the user the roles/owner role for a specific GCP project. This allows the user to have elevated permissions and perform actions that might require owner-level access.

Usage

./sudo.sh [PROJECT_ID]

PROJECT_ID (optional): The ID of the GCP project. If not provided, the script will list the projects you have access to and prompt you to select one.

Example

./sudo.sh my-gcp-project-id

Unsudo Script

The unsudo script reverts the permissions granted by the sudo script. It removes the roles/owner role from the user and assigns the roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin role to ensure the user still has IAM management capabilities.

Usage

./unsudo.sh [PROJECT_ID]

Example

./unsudo.sh my-gcp-project-id

Requirements

• Google Cloud SDK (gcloud command-line tool)
• Appropriate permissions to modify IAM policies in the GCP project

Notes

• Always ensure you understand the implications of changing IAM roles and permissions.
• It's recommended to test these scripts in a non-production environment first.
