We have migrated to GSuite having used the GCP for a number of projects already.
As some accounts already existed, we transferred these over to our new GSuite tenure.
We now want to transfer the projects to our new Organization but it shows "No Organization" when we try and migrate:
When we try and make a new Project no Organization is shown:
The account does belong to our Organization:
Any ideas?
Sorted - I needed to login as another user on our tenure, create a trial which made our organisation!
So when you migrate to GSuite, if you already have a GCP account it then doesn't make an Organisation!

I am not being able to add an organization to an already exisiting GCP account. The account has two projects running. I created a different account in order to create an organization, because GCP would not let me add an organization in the same account. After creating the account I get the following message:
When you use only your personal account, the projects are attached to a virtual organization named "No Organisation".
If you have a domain name, you can create a Cloud Identity account and an admin user. Remove all licence on your user to pay nothing (even if you need to enroll for a free trial, do this and then remove the licences to pay nothing).
So, now you have a new user (with #domainName), but you don't have your old project. No problem, go to the organisation level, in the IAM page and grand your personal account as Organisation Admin.
Go back in your personal account and you will be able to see your No Organization project and your new organization with the same account. Now, you simply need to migrate project if you want to attach them to the new organization.
Note: it's maybe lot of new stuff and step, but I did it and it worked well. Let me know if you need more guidance!
I have 2 Google Cloud projects with GKE and various other services enabled and running.
None of those projects has an organization resource assigned. There are also many Users and serviceaccounts inside the projects that are used in production.
We use (example) adminaccount#example.com for those projects.
I would like to add Google Identity Free, so that I will be able to use Azure AD Users with SSO
So I created a new Google Identity Account with the username identityadmin#example.com which is not member of my existing Gcloud projects.
The domain (example.com) has not been verified so far.
What will I have to do to get this running with my existing projects?
I read that first I would need an organization resource, which would be created after I verify the domain.
Is it safe to do that? Will I afterwards be able to link my existing projects to this new organization without downtime and loss of existing permissions?
I don't understand how a new organization could be recognized by my existing projects, because there is no link between them.
The goal of course is not to have any downtime.
Sure, I would purchase Google support, but that's only possible If you have an organization, what I don't have.
I'm really confused and troubled.
Looking forward to any suggestions.
Many thanks in advance!

Firstly, you need to create your new organization. Start by creating a Google Workspace environment (go to https://admin.google.com and create it). You can create the org with a Google Workspace free trial and then cancel your subscription, no worry, I'm paying nothing!
Secondly, with your new Google Workspace account, and your new user, go to https://console.cloud.google.com. Here, select your organization, and go to IAM. Here add as member the user account where your project are created in the "No Organization" organisation, and grant it the role Organization Administrator
Perfect. Now, go back to your user account (freshly granted) and go to ressource manager. I use the project picker window to go there
And eventually, migrate your project. Select one project from "No Organization", click on migrate, select the Organization, and validate. That's all. No downtime
Your Cloud Identity organization is created when you finish your signup and setup steps for your Cloud Identity service
To answer your questions:
What will I have to do to get this running with my existing projects?
The simple answer is Migrate projects and billing accounts and set permissions
This documentation explains how Grant access to billing accounts and Grant access to projects
Will I afterwards be able to link my existing projects to this new organization without downtime and loss of existing permissions?
Once a Google Cloud Organization resource has been created for your domain, you can move your existing projects into the organization.
There should be NO server downtime or impact as a result of migration.
Take into consideration that the link between projects and billing accounts is preserved, irrespective of the hierarchy.
To migrate a project using you will need the following permissions: resourcemanager.projects.create on the destination organization, typically granted by the Project Creator role.
resourcemanager.projects.update and resourcemanager.projects.setIAMPolicy on the project you are migrating, typically granted by the Owner role.
You can get further information in the following link: Migrating projects with no organization
Additionally to contact support you could create a case using this link and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an organization.
I wanted to setup my cloud identity but its asking me to verify the domain that is already hosted on GCP. Can you help me with Cloud Identity setup with a proper organisation created (today its named "No Organisation"). I'm the admin for this account DOMAIN: we host our Corporate website on GCP with domain already registered with DNS services in google.
on the GCP Identity page its also giving me the following message.
Your current account, k*****.***a#DOMAIN.NL, is not associated with an organization on Google Cloud. This checklist is designed for administrators who are trusted with complete control over a company’s Google Cloud resources. If you already have an administrator account for your organization, sign in with the account now. Or, ask your company administrator to start the checklist.
I guess I'm stuck in a Chicken-n-Egg problem.
You need to create a Google Workspace account. Create it on your domain DOMAIN.NL, with you as 1st admin user and with subscription plan or not (in my case, I wasn't able to remove the 15 days of trial. Get it, you will be able to remove the trial subscription later (in the user list) on the admin.google.com Workspace console). You are able to create your org for free, but it's absolutely not clear!!
From the new user account that you have created on your Workspace domain (you#DOMAIN.NL), you will be able to reach the console (console.cloud.google.com) and you have your org.
Now you need to migrate the projects and to review the authorization. You also need to (re)create a Billing Account.
I didn't find another way to achieve this.
Using Google Cloud, there exists a BigQuery View table that queries two projects.
However, on the project where the view is located, we wish to run a query against it from Airflow/Composer. Currently it fails with a 403.
AFAIK it will use the default composer service account - however it doesn't have access to the 2nd project used in the sql of the view.
How do I give composer's service account access to the second project?
Think about a service account like a user account: you have a user email that you authorize on different project and component. Exactly the same thing with the service account email.
The service account belongs to a project. An user account belongs to a domain name/organisation. No real difference at the end.
So, you can use a service account email like any user accounts:
Grant authorization in any project
Add it in Google Groups
Even grant it viewer or editor role on GSuite document (Sheet, Docs, Slides,...) to allow it to access and to read/update these document!! Like any users!
EDIT
With Airflow, you can defined connexions and a default connexion. You can use this connexion in your DAG and thus use the service account that you want.
I think you have to add the service account into project IAM.
I have a G Suite account. GCP created an organization automatically when I logged-in with the G Suite super admin. When I'm trying to create a project in the console, the organization is automatically chosen, even when I'm trying to choose 'No organization'.
Is there a way to create a project in the GCP console that is not under the organization?
Thanks
According to the Organization docs:
Once an Organization resource is created for a domain, all GCP projects created by members of the account domain will by default belong to the Organization resource.
To get an organizationless project, create it with an external account and give ownership to your G Suite Google Workspace account. Then remove the original owner account, and you'll have a project outside of your org.
