!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Role] in [Google Cloud IAM]

[{$pagename}] is a collection of [GCP Permissions]. You cannot assign a [GCP Permission] to the [G-Suite User] directly; instead you grant them a [role]. When you grant a [{$pagename}] to a [G-Suite User], you grant them all the [permissions] that the [{$pagename}] contains.

* Primitive roles: The roles historically available in the [Google Cloud Platform Console] will continue to work. These are the Owner, Editor, and Viewer roles.
* Predefined roles: Predefined roles are the [Google Cloud IAM] [roles] that give finer-grained access control than the primitive roles. 
** For example, the predefined role Publisher provides access to only publish messages to a Pub/Sub topic.
* Custom roles: Roles that you create to tailor permissions to the needs of your organization when Predefined roles don't meet your needs.
