I haven't used Google Cloud in years and today I've logged in and I've found that there are several projects in https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/
and https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager?organizationId=0&authuser=0 that I didn't create.
I'm not the owner of those projects and I can't do anything with them.
What can I do to clean this up?
My GMail account is protected with 2FA, how did they managed to create these projects?
Any hint about where to look for help would be great as Google doesn't seem to care unless I pay for a support plan.
Most likely you do not have a problem.
You can be a member of a project thru Google Groups and other methods.
To double-check, go to your Google Cloud Billing Account. There you can see the projects that you are responsible for. If the project is not listed there, then you are not paying for the project.
If there is a project that you do not know about connected to your billing account, immediately contact Google Cloud Billing Support which is free.

We have some Google Cloud Projects which use Google Calendar APIs and Sheets.
Developers who created this projects have left and their accounts have been deleted. The credentials created by them still work but we can't access those projects in Google Cloud dashboard from any of our existing accounts.
I tried accessing like this: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=project-name-goes-here
All of us get
You do not have sufficient permissions to view this page. You are missing the following required permissions:
Project
project-name-here
resourcemanager.projects.get
How can an admin can reclaim these projects?
If an account created these projects deleted, will these projects still work?
We don't pay for support so we can't contact anyone from Google Cloud team.
Is there a way to find which Google account do these projects belong to?
Can anyone from Google cloud team clarify?
Thanls
If your Project is under an Organization, the organization is still the owner. You would need to contact the Organization Owners and modify the Owners of the resource.
You can also create a support ticket to the GCP Account and Resource Recovery Request team
When I tried to add new member to GCP it gives me following error..?
Can we access GCP with Microsoft account..? Or how can we add Microsoft acc to GCP?
There's the correct answer (and similar):
Azure AD provisioning and SSO
And there's a hacky (!?) be very careful with this answer:
Google Account with a non-Google email address
Please do not even consider the hacky answer unless this is a one-off and the Microsoft account is a personal account.
Google Cloud Platform only accepts Google accounts.
The federation mechanism creates proxy-like Google accounts for the Azure AD accounts and maintains the mapping for you.
The Google Account with a non-Google email address mechanism creates a Google Account (I strongly encourage you to also use a different password for the Google and Microsoft accounts even though they appear to be the same they are entirely different accounts).
If you use the hacky solution, it will create problems if you subsequently try the correct solution though Google Cloud Support may be able to help you delete the Google "shadow" account to help.
NOTE Many years ago, the only way to use non-Google accounts with GCP was the hacky solution outlined above. Once the federation solutions became available, the hacky solution has become strongly discouraged.
I am using the same process with GCP with several projects, and never had this issue.
The issue
Not able to enable APIs (Cloud Run etc..)
Missing Required Permission
You are missing the required permission: billing.accounts.list
Some info
I am logged in as an Owner
The project has a Billing account linked
The Cloud Console Engineering team is aware of this issue as it has been reported a few days ago. A workaround by the engineering team was to enable them with the gcloud command tool.
A fix for the issue has been rolled out which should take effect at some point today to enable your API's but sometimes it takes some time to see the changes.
But probably you will be able to enable your API tomorrow.
We have 5-7 servers in GCP and many other things in Google Stroge, but from yesterday, I find my google account is banned as some reason, so now I can not login my Google account, and can not login my GCP, we can not manage my servers and any other things. Even the servers are still running, but I can not manage them and I even can not see my spend or any other important thing.
I tried to connect to Google to get this account back, but after 2 days, Google give me the response that they reject to reopen it.
Any one met this issue before, for this GCP, I only have this google account can login to manage it. I can not find any solution in GCP support document, and there is no email address that I can send to get help.
As I know in the GCP panel, it allowed to add another Google account as an owner, but now I cannot login my old account, so I can not do it.
who can help us with it.
Thanks a lot!

I'm new to Google Cloud so I'm hoping for some guidance around "organizations".
Can I move a project from one "organization" to another? I'm starting up some projects under my personal GSuite organization, but I'll have to move them to a more professional organization and billing in the future once they are set up.
Is that possible?
As mentioned on the migration docs this is only possible by contacting support.
If your intention is to develop apps in one account, and then move them to another Google Account, there might be a couple of possibilities.
Use a free account which will put new Cloud Projects under "No organization"
Intentionally create new Cloud Projects under "No organization"
You can give another Google account ownership of your Cloud Project and transfer ownership without the need for Google Support if the original Cloud Project is under the "No organization" category.
Google Cloud Projects created in a free/consumer account are NOT in an organization. And therefore, if you want the G Suite account to get ownership of the Google Cloud Project from your free/consumer account, then you can do that without needing to get Google support involved.
To set up an organization, you need to go to: admin.google.com
https://admin.google.com/ac/accountchooser?continue=https://admin.google.com/
If you try to set up an organization in a free/consumer account, then you will get a message stating that it's for G Suite accounts only.
Your Cloud Projects in a free/consumer account will be put under the organization category of "No organization"
