Your company currently uses only individual Gmail accounts and has a single Google Cloud project that appears in the console with No organization. Management now wants to apply organization-wide IAM policies and centralize future project creation under an Organization resource, but they do not plan to purchase Google Workspace licenses. What is the most appropriate first step to obtain an Organization resource for the company?
Open a support ticket with Google Cloud and request that an Organization resource be manually provisioned for the existing project.
Convert one founder's Gmail account to a service account and assign it the Organization Administrator role.
Create a new self-serve billing account and link it to a placeholder project; the Organization resource is created automatically during billing setup.
Register the company's domain with Cloud Identity, verify domain ownership, and then sign in to Google Cloud from an account in that domain.
An Organization resource is created automatically for a domain after someone in that domain signs up for Google Cloud and the domain is managed by either Google Workspace or Cloud Identity. Because the company does not want Google Workspace, the correct approach is to enroll the company's domain in Cloud Identity (free or premium) and complete domain verification. When a user from that Cloud Identity domain next accesses Google Cloud, the Organization node is created and projects can be migrated under it. Creating billing accounts, requesting support, or manipulating service accounts do not create an Organization resource.
