This detection uses a named query:

with policy as(
  select
    *,
    unnest(from_json((service_data -> 'policyDelta' -> 'bindingDeltas'), '["JSON"]')) as bindings
  from
    gcp_audit_log
  where
    method_name ilike 'storage.setiampermissions'
)
select 
  tp_timestamp as timestamp,
method_name as operation,
resource_name as resource,
authentication_info.principal_email as actor,
tp_source_ip as source_ip,
tp_index as project,
tp_id as source_id,
-- Create new aliases to preserve original row data
operation as operation_src,
resource as resource_src,
*
exclude operation, resource

from 
  policy
where
  (bindings ->> 'member') = 'allUsers'
  and severity != 'Error'

order by
  timestamp desc;
