Manage role

Roles provide differential access rights to users for managing and accessing organizations and projects. Roles are broadly divided into organizational-level and project-level, and multiple roles can be assigned to a user. For example, a user with the Org Admin role can also take on a specific project member role.

The role management described in this document is only available to users assigned the following IAM roles.

Manage organization roles

Organization roles include Org Admin, Billing Admin, Billing Manager, Billing Viewer, Trail Viewer, and Alert Center Organization Manager.
For billing-related roles, higher-level roles encompass all permissions of the lower-level roles. However, lower-level roles can still be added in conjunction with higher ones. For example, a user with the Billing Manager role (which includes Billing Viewer permissions) can still be explicitly assigned the Billing Viewer role.

info

The Organization Owner is the user who created the organization. This user is automatically assigned the Org Admin and Billing Admin roles.
You cannot assign the Organization Owner role through IAM. To change the Organization Owner, use the Transfer Organization Owner feature. The new owner will also be granted the Org Admin and Billing Admin roles.

Types of organization roles

Role	Description
Org Admin	Register/delete users, manage user roles, create/delete groups, create projects, etc. - Includes Org Reader permissions
Org Reader	View organization/projects, view users and IAM roles

   This button appears only for the current Organization Owner.

Manage project roles

Project roles define permissions for managing or accessing projects. Roles include Project Admin and Project Member.
Users must first be added as Project Members before roles can be assigned.

Permissions

Managing project roles requires either the Org Admin or Project Admin role. The procedure differs depending on which role the user holds.
