How can you enforce log access restrictions for project teams while allowing the operations team to access all logs?

Creating log views for each project team while restricting visibility ensures that sensitive or irrelevant log information is not exposed to those who do not need it. By employing specific log views, you can tailor access to the logs that are pertinent to each team. This means that each project team would only have visibility of their respective application logs, effectively enforcing the principle of least privilege. This approach not only enhances security by limiting access but also helps teams focus on the logs that are most relevant to their projects, thereby optimizing their operational workflows.

The option of creating IAM roles for each project team, while it might seem plausible, does not directly address the need for viewing specific logs, as it focuses more on permissions rather than on managing the actual log access. Similarly, having a single log view for all teams would compromise the restriction by allowing all teams to access the same logs, which is contrary to the goal of segregating log access. Finally, establishing separate Cloud Logging projects for each team introduces unnecessary complexity and management overhead, as project teams can still be efficiently managed through designed log views without the need to create and maintain multiple projects.
