GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

A developer created a Google Cloud project while the company had not yet set up Cloud Identity, so the project appears under "No organization." A week later, the IT team establishes an Organization resource for the company. They want to understand how this early project differs from any projects created inside the new Organization. Which statement correctly describes the difference?

When an Organization resource is created, any existing standalone projects that use the same email domain automatically become children of that Organization.
It does not inherit any Organization-level IAM or organization policies because it has no parent, but it can be migrated into the Organization later if you have the required permissions.
Projects inside an Organization are owned by the user who created them, whereas standalone projects are owned by the Organization administrator.
It cannot be linked to a company billing account until it is first moved under an Organization.

Answer Description

A project created outside an Organization is a standalone project. Because it has no parent resource, it cannot inherit IAM policies, organization policies, or folder structure until it is moved under an Organization. You can later migrate the project if you have the necessary permissions, such as the Project Mover role on the project and a role that grants resourcemanager.projects.create (for example Organization Policy Administrator) on the destination Organization. Standalone projects can still be linked to billing accounts, do not automatically join a new Organization, and are initially owned by the Google Account that created them. Projects created under an Organization inherit policies from their parent nodes and are governed by organization administrators rather than by a single user owner.
