Centrally manage all your projects

Google Cloud provides resource containers such as organizations, folders, and projects that allow you to group and hierarchically organize other Google Cloud resources. This hierarchical organization lets you easily manage common aspects of your resources such as access control and configuration settings. Resource Manager enables you to programmatically manage these resource containers.
Manage IAM across your org logo

Manage IAM across your org

Create an organization that contains all of your projects and resources. Create folders to group projects by department, team, application, or environment. Easily modify your Cloud Identity and Access Management policies for your organization and folders, and the changes will apply across all the projects and resources. You can also edit projects directly.

Organize resources logo

Organize resources

Resources are organized hierarchically. An organization is the root node in the hierarchy and has projects and folders as children. Folders can contain projects or other folders. All other resources are the children of projects. Each resource has exactly one parent. Set access control policies and configuration settings at a parent resource, and the policies and settings are inherited by the children resources.
