+Prowler for Google Cloud needs the following permissions to be set:
+
+- **Viewer (`roles/viewer`) IAM role**: granted at the project / folder / org level in order to scan the target projects
+
+- **Project level settings**: you need to have at least one project with the below settings:
+    - Identity and Access Management (IAM) API (`iam.googleapis.com`) enabled by either using the
+    [Google Cloud API UI](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/iam.googleapis.com/metrics) or

     By default, `prowler` will scan all accessible GCP Projects, use flag `--project-ids` to specify the projects to be scanned.
