# google-cloud-org-policy — Google Cloud Org Policy API client library

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.2M/mo

## What it is and what it does

google-cloud-org-policy is the official Python client for Google Cloud's Organization Policy API. It provides a programmatic interface to define and enforce governance rules across your Google Cloud resource hierarchy—allowing you to set constraints on how resources can be configured, managed, and used at scale. The library wraps the underlying gRPC API with Python-friendly abstractions, handling authentication, serialization, and transport details automatically.

The package depends on google-api-core, google-auth, grpcio, proto-plus, and protobuf to manage API communication and credential handling. It targets modern Python versions (3.10 and later) and is actively maintained by Google. Use it when you need to programmatically create, update, list, or delete organization policies as part of infrastructure-as-code workflows or governance automation.

Use it for:

- Enforce security and compliance policies across multiple Google Cloud projects via Infrastructure-as-Code
- Automate policy deployment and updates in large-scale multi-project environments
- Integrate organization policy management into CI/CD pipelines for governance workflows
- Query and audit existing policies across your resource hierarchy programmatically
- Build custom governance dashboards or policy compliance reporting tools
