BThe user's IAM policy bindings are missing or incorrect
CThe user's password expired

Quick Trick: Check IAM bindings if access is denied unexpectedly [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Blaming password expiry for IAM denial
  • Assuming resource offline causes denial
  • Confusing billing with access control
