IAM basic roles Admin, Writer and Reader generally available
The Admin (roles/admin), Writer (roles/writer), and Reader (roles/reader)
basic roles are generally available
(GA). For more
information, see Basic roles.
The legacy basic roles—Owner (roles/owner), Editor (roles/editor), and
Viewer (roles/viewer)—are still available for use and are being
actively maintained. However, if you need to grant a basic role, we recommend
granting the Admin, Writer, or Reader role instead of a legacy basic role.
This is because the newer roles support additional features, such as the use of
IAM Conditions.
