Manage roles

Roles provide users with differentiated permissions to access and manage organizations and projects. Roles are broadly divided into organization/project categories, and users can be assigned multiple roles. For example, a user with an Org Admin role can also have a specific Project Admin role. The role management features described in this document are only available to users granted the following IAM roles.

Organization Owner​

Org Owner is the user who applied for creating the organization. The selected user account is assigned the roles of Org Admin and Billing Admin.
Org Owner cannot be assigned through IAM roles, and another user can be designated as Org Owner using the Org Owner transfer feature. The designated user is also assigned the roles of Org Admin and Billing Admin.
