Making a service public means granting the run.invoker role to the allUsers member. If the organization enforces the allowed policy member domains constraint, that binding is rejected while the deployment itself succeeds. gcloud run deploy --allow-unauthenticated reports that setting the IAM policy failed, and the result is a healthy revision that returns 403 to every anonymous request.
The service is not broken and the container is not the problem; the IAM binding is simply absent. Verify with gcloud run services get-iam-policy NAME and look for an allUsers binding on roles/run.invoker.
Remedies are to add a project-level exception to the org policy, or to front the service with an external HTTPS load balancer, API Gateway, or Identity-Aware Proxy that authenticates on its behalf while calling the service as a service account. Cloud Run checks authentication before the container runs, so a 403 from this cause never reaches application code and never appears in application logs.
