When utilizing Google Cloud IAM roles to manage permissions, what is a recommended practice to minimize security risks?

Assigning the Owner role to all users for flexibility.
Regularly auditing and refining assigned roles and permissions.
Sharing service accounts with external entities for collaboration.
Granting granular permissions to all resources for ease of access.

The correct answer is: Regularly auditing and refining assigned roles and permissions.

The recommended practice to minimize security risks when utilizing Google Cloud IAM roles is to regularly audit and refine assigned roles and permissions. This means regularly reviewing and updating the roles and permissions assigned to users to ensure that they have only the necessary access to resources. Doing so helps prevent unauthorized access and misuse of resources. Option A is not recommended as granting the Owner role to all users can result in too much access and increase the risk of security breaches. Option C is also not recommended as sharing service accounts with external entities can increase the risk of unauthorized access. Option D is not recommended as granting granular permissions to all resources can make it difficult to manage and keep track of access, leading to security risks.
