Stuck on moving GCP project to an organization

Question

I'm trying to move a GCP project (on a private account) to a GCP organization that I manage. I know that I have to have the correct IAM rights, which I believe I do. I'm Owner, Folder Admin, Organization Administrator, Project Deleter and Project Mover in the project. I'm also Project Owner and Project Mover of the project to be moved.

But when I try to move it, I get:

ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.projects.move) User [(organization account)] does not have permission to access project [(the project to be moved] (or it may not exist): The caller does not have permission

Any experiences or suggestions?

Answer 1

1. Target organization

Add the user (email) who owns the project to migrate from the source organization.

• IAM and Administration
• Manage resources
• Select the target organization
• Permissions -> Add Member

Permission to the user in the target organization:

Project Creator.

You can do it through UI or Gcloud.

Note: Delete the line break \

$ gcloud organizations add-iam-policy-binding ORGANIZATION_ID \
--member user:YOUR-EMAIL --role=roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator


Success: Updated IAM policy for organization [ORGANIZATION_ID].

2. Source organization

Permissions to the user in the project to be migrated in the source organization:

Project Mover

Note: Delete the line break \

$ gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID
$ gcloud projects  add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID \ 
--member user:YOUR-EMAIL --role=roles/resourcemanager.projectMover


Success: Updated IAM policy for project [PROJECT_ID].

Finally, migrate the current project to an organization

$ gcloud alpha projects move PROJECT_ID --organization ORGANIZATION_ID
