Roles required to select or create a project
Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific
IAM role—you can select any project that you've been
granted a role on.
Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator
(roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the
resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant
roles.
To enable APIs, you need the Service Usage Admin IAM
role (roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin), which
contains the serviceusage.services.enable permission. Learn how to grant
roles.
