Set up Cloud Identity as a Google Cloud adminThis document shows you how to set up Cloud Identity and become a Google Cloud administrator who can manage Google Cloud users and resources. Setting up Cloud Identity is one of the first steps you'll take when creating a Google Cloud resource hierarchy.
Before you beginInstructions for Google Cloud admins
If you're a Google Cloud administrator, use the instructions below to sign up for either Cloud Identity Free or Cloud Identity Premium. For details about the differences between these services, see Compare Cloud Identity features & editions.
RequirementsFor details about your next steps, see Create your Cloud Identity account and first admin user.
Sign up for Cloud Identity Premium If you're a Google Workspace customerIn the Admin console, go to Menu
BillingGet more services.
To create your Cloud Identity account and first admin user using the Setup Wizard:
For more details and instructions about verifying your domain, see Verify your domain for Cloud Identity.
Congratulations! You successfully enabled Cloud Identity and created your first user.
Finishing setupAfter you create your Cloud Identity account and verify your domain, you're returned to the Google Cloud console. Before you continue, you'll need to accept the Cloud Identity Agreement on behalf of your organization. You're then directed to the Identity page.
You now have a fully functioning Cloud Identity account. But you'll also have the option to complete a few more setup steps in the console as described below.
Note: Later, you may want to return to the Google Admin console to add more users and create groups. For instructions, see Manage users.
About your Cloud Identity organizationYour Cloud Identity organization is created after you finish your signup and setup steps for your Cloud Identity service. This maps a Cloud Identity account from the Admin console to Google Cloud, and is used to group all of your projects for billing and management purposes. For example, using your Cloud Identity organization you can restrict project access only to Cloud Identity users.
As the first super admin to access the Google Cloud console, you'll be assigned the role of Org Owner, and you'll be able to manage the organization settings and assign policies at the highest level.
Migrate projects and billing accounts and set permissionsImportant:
To migrate content from a previous account, follow these steps:
Use the steps below to migrate projects and billing accounts from accounts outside of your Cloud Identity organization to your new Cloud Identity organization. We recommend opening this page in a separate tab to use as reference while completing the steps.
You can grant access to projects one at a time, or via the bulk permissions UI. Step 1 below walks through the one-at-a-time method, while step 2 walks through the bulk method.
Sign in to your Cloud Identity account and check your email.
For the projects you're migrating, you must accept the project invitation sent via email to your new account. You must click the link in each email for each project that you're migrating.
Go to Google Cloud, sign in with your Cloud Identity account, and remove accessAfter the migration is finished, your projects will be moved to your company's organization. You must switch the No organization drop-down to your company's organization to view the projects.
Set permissionsFor more details, see also Configuring permissions on Google Cloud.
Free trial users: After you set up Cloud Identity, check your billable status to verify that you have remaining free trial credits. When the free trial offer ends, you can activate a full, paid Cloud Billing account to continue to use Google Cloud resources that require a Cloud Billing account. To learn more about the free trial, see Free cloud features and trial offer.
