**Changed**: The following operations on the boot disk of a Compute Engine instance that has a service account attached no longer require the `iam.serviceAccounts.actAs`permission. In the following list, the boot disk of such an instance is referred to as the _source disk_.
* Creating a standard or archive snapshot of the source disk.
* Cloning the source disk.
* Creating a machine image of the instance.
* Creating a custom image of the source disk.
* Starting asynchronous replication of the source disk to another region.
* Creating a new disk when you create an instance, if the new disk is created from an instant snapshot of the source disk.
