I am trying to give Project Creator role to a service account from IAM in GCP

Question

I am trying to give Project Creator role to a service account from IAM, I do not see a role named Project Creator as explained here https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles#resource-manager-roles

I am not getting Project creator as a role in Service Account Role

Answer 1

Its roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator and lowest resource hierarchy where it can be given is Folder. So if you have a Folder then create an IAM role at Folder level(you need to have permissions at Folder level) or else create at Org level(again, you need to have org level perms).

Ref: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles#resource-manager-roles

roles/
resourcemanager.projectCreator  Project Creator     Provides access to create new projects. Once a user creates a project, they're automatically granted the owner role for that project.   resourcemanager.organizations.get
resourcemanager.projects.create
    Folder ```


Hope this helps

Answer 2

If you do not see the project creator role in IAM, you will have to contact the Organization admin who should have the ability to add that particular role.
