Method: projects.assets.testIamPermissions

  • Returns caller permissions for a specified Earth Engine resource, even if the resource doesn't exist, providing an empty set instead of an error.

  • Primarily designed for building permission-aware user interfaces and command-line tools, not for strict authorization checks.

  • Accepts a list of specific permissions to check against the resource, using a POST request to a defined endpoint.

  • Requires specific OAuth scopes for authentication, like https://www.googleapis.com/auth/earthengine or https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.

Returns permissions that a caller has on the specified resource. If the resource does not exist, this will return an empty set of permissions, not a NOT_FOUND error.

Note: This operation is designed to be used for building permission-aware UIs and command-line tools, not for authorization checking. This operation may "fail open" without warning.
