          description: The condition that determines whether this deny rule applies to a request. If the condition expression evaluates to `true`, then the deny rule is applied; otherwise, the deny rule is not applied. Each deny rule is evaluated independently. If this deny rule does not apply to a request, other deny rules might still apply. The condition can use CEL functions that evaluate [resource tags](https://cloud.google.com/iam/help/conditions/resource-tags). Other functions and operators are not supported.
