To exclude a subset of users or projects from Data Access audit logging, you use the exempted principals configuration. This allows you to selectively disable logs for specific groups, such as developers in the CustomerService folder.

"You can configure exempted principals so that audit logs are not generated for certain users, service accounts, or groups."

— Configuring Audit Logs

"Data Access logs are disabled by default because of their high volume, and you can enable them at the organization, folder, or project level."

To control data residency in Secret Manager, you must use a user-managed replication policy to specify that secrets reside in U.S. regions, satisfying healthcare compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, regional residency).

“To ensure that secrets are stored only in certain regions, use user-managed replication.”

— Secret Manager Replication Policies

“If an organization policy restricts the use of the global location, use a user-managed replication policy to comply with those restrictions.”

— Policy Restrictions on Global Resources

Using user-managed replication allows you to explicitly define U.S. regions while resolving the policy block.
