How do i link the billing account to my project on google cloud?
I have enabled the billing but unable to open the JS file and getting some errors like "You must enable the billing on google clouds projects".
Please help me out in fixing this error!!
Thanks!!
Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
Click the "hamburger" menu item top left.
Select Manage billing accounts.
You will see a list of billing accounts and the number of projects assigned.
The My projects tab will show you a list of your projects and the associated billing account.
To assign a billing account to a project:
Go to IAM & admin.
Select Manage resources.
To the RIGHT of each project is an ellipsis menu (three vertical dots). Click and select billing.
If you just enabled your billing account, wait. The approval is not instant. If it has been an hour or so, go to your billing account and look for errors regarding your payment being declined, invalid credit card etc.
Just creating a billing account does not enable a project. You must assign a billing account to a project. The menus above provide these features.
I created a videolab with a collection of videos on Google Cloud Billing. The following link is a video to show you how to create and attach a billing account. There are many more videos in this collection.

Updated gcloud command - Alpha has now become beta
gcloud beta billing projects link Project-ID --billing-account=xxxxxx-yyyyyy-xxxxxx
To update the projects billing account info programmatically one could use google-cloud's billing client library. Below is the sample using ruby client,
require "google/cloud/billing"
billing_account_name = ""
project_id = ""
billing_manager = Google::Cloud::Billing.cloud_billing_service
billing_manager.update_project_billing_info name: "projects/#{project_id}",
project_billing_info: {
billing_account_name: "billingAccounts/#{billing_account_name}",
billing_enabled: true,
project_id: project_id,
name: "projects/#{project_id}/billingInfo",
}
Refer https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-ruby/tree/master/google-cloud-billing for more info on enabling auth and running the script.
Elaborating on #suraj-psu's answer, and using a tip found at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/84922/extract-a-part-of-one-line-from-a-file-with-sed, the following should work only under the right circumstances.
You can borrow the information from another project that you know for sure it has an enabled billing account.
gcloud beta billing projects describe KNOWN_BILLING_ENABLED_PROJECT
You copy/paste the result, but you could also save it in a variable as follows,
BILLING_ACCOUNT=$(gcloud beta billing projects describe KNOWN_BILLING_ENABLED_PROJECT | awk '/billingAccountName: /{print $NF}')
And then,
gcloud beta billing projects link YOUR_NEW_PROJECT --billing-account=$BILLING_ACCOUNT

I'm using the VSC Teams Toolkit. But when I sign in to my Azure account to provision my files, it says "No subscriptions discovered" as shown below:
Which subscription should I get to proceed with provisioning the files?
As the information explained, your logged-in Azure account doesn't seem to have associated Azure subscription.
You can login to your Azure portal, and under subscriptions, please check whether you have accessible subscription.
I had the same issue. You really need to go to portal.azure.com -> Subscriptions and have at least 1 subscription listed in the table below.
If no subscription is available, create new one - Pay as you go.
Then, in VS Code - sign out, sign in and subscription will be available
If vscode is complaining about not have an active subscription in the Teams Toolkit extension, for one make sure the tenant id is added to vsocde. See here enter link description here and here enter link description here
I've set up a firebase project not to long ago and linked it with a Google Cloud organization. I'm now trying to get the receipts for the monthly charges and I can't figure the hell out where to find them.
The Firebase Console lets me know that I'm not an "Billing Admin" for the associated project... but I also can't figure out who is
As per the image's suggestion, I went into the GCP console to find the billing account.
There seems to be one called "Firebase Payment" (after all I'm paying) but whenever I try to access/modify the account I'm presented with a message saying that I have no access. I tried with all users in my organization and not a single one has access.
Has anyone ever run into this problem before?
It seems that when you create a Firebase project (with Blaze plan) and link it to an GCP org later you'll get the Firebase Payment billing account which can't be modified. To solve that problem for good, do the following
Open the GCP dashboard and create a new billing account
Once thats done, search for Billing Accounts and switch to the My Projects tab
Click Change billing and assign the newly creataed Billing Account
Errors regarding "permissions" have to do with the role we have assigned in that particular project. If you have a role assigned in a particular protect, the access does not migrate to another project. Each project has its own set of rules and they are controlled by the owner of the project. Here is a list of the billing roles and what each role does:
Billing account Administrator - The Billing Account Administrator role grants the IT department the permissions to associate projects with billing accounts, turn off billing for the projects, and view the credit card information for the accounts that they resell to their customers.
It does not give them permissions to view the contents of the projects.
Billing Account User - The Billing Account User role gives the service account the permissions to enable billing (associate projects with the organization's billing account for all projects in the organization) and thereby permit the service account to enable APIs that require billing to be enabled.
Billing Account Viewer - The Billing Account Viewer role allows the developers to view the expenses for a billing account.
Here is a google document that provides a more detailed explanation about the different roles for billing.
The owner of the project needs to provide you with the correct role in IAM in order for you to have access to the information you are requesting.
You can also access a billing report using the following, but make sure you have the access billing.accounts.getSpendingInformationif you want such feature
I would like to try server-side GTM. So I did the process of creating a server GTM on GCP. Automatically provision tagging server was failed.
Error Reported: Google Cloud platform billing quota exceeded. So I tried Manually provision tagging server which passed me without problems.
I have several projects running in GCP . And I have set up a billing account which is cleared and used every month .
What exactly is the problem and how to set up?
Thanks
This is a common problem in case you are already a user of GCP and exceeded the free tier limit. You can have only one Free testing sGTM instance on one account.
If you already used the Free tier or want to create one more testing server there is no possibility to do this for free and automatically.
For manual server provisioning you can follow official documentation
Also as an option I can recommend to try Stape as much cheaper and easier to setup alternative for GTM Server Side hosting. There you can create infinity free servers for sGTM on one account.
For example you can follow this article on how to setup free server for Server Side GTM:
https://stape.io/how-to-set-up-google-tag-manager-server-side-container/
This just happened to us and the problem is a very basic one. Apparently by default one billing account in GCP can be tied to 5 projects (who knew :) ). You're probably at that limit and that's what Google Tag Manager interface means by "Google Cloud platform billing quota exceeded" --> you're trying to add the 6th project to that account.
Two options comes to mind to solve that:
Create a new billing account (with the same credit card if you want) and tie your new server project to that account
Request for a quota increase from here so your billing account is able to handle more projects
Alternatively you can do 1, then do 2, and when your request is approved change the billing account of the project that contains your GTM server.
I had a similar problem, and this is what I'm suggesting:
ask for increasing quota for current billing account, if not successful:
create new billing account (but be very careful).
Why not the other way? Why not creating first new billing account if you are allowed to do this? I did it, and attached new project to the account, and redirected domain to the project, and everything was fine, but after some time Google send me message like this:
There is some suspicious activity related to your billing accounts, your all accounts are now suspended, your projects are suspended, your domains returns 404. Send us photos of documents which will allow us to verify your accounts (credit cards, ID, payments confirmations). We will check somedays. Till then you can't do anything, you can't close project, accounts, remap domains, nothing! Have a nice day!
If you every tried to contact Google in person, you know how big your problem is. Good luck!
ps. I never found out what the suspicious activity was (probably just creating new billing account).
I am creating a website for a customer using firebase.
I want the customer to enter his / her credit card details and manage payments associated with that project.
How do I give access to the customer?
There is a project billing manager profile that associates billing to a project. But that seems to be different than my current use case.
Is my use case even possible? Or should I ask the customer to create a new gcp account altogether and give me permission to deploy the project in it?
What is the recommended way of setting up billing in a safe manner
If the customer going to manage the payments, in this case the recommended way is,
Creating a new GCP account for the customer, if the customer don't have an account.
Create a Google payments profile, if the customer don't have any.
Create a new billing account and choose the respective payment profile or you get a provision to create a payment profile while creating the billing account, which by
default comes with Billing Account Administrator role.
Finally, link the project to the billing account.
As the billing administrator(customer), he can add other members to the billing resource with roles such as Billing Account User, Billing account viewer, etc .. depends on the requirement.
For example, the member who got assigned as Billing Account User, can link the projects to the billing account managed by the customer, but won't able to update the billing account.
By doing above, the billing part will be restricted from others.
Additional Info:
Even the customer owns the billing account, it doesn't mean he can access all the projects linked to his billing account. He can access only the projects that he created and got the respective project access.
In other end, the user won't be able to update the billing account of the customer and also the user won't be able to see other projects attached to the customer billing account, apart from the projects he manages.
On the latest version of Firebase (Announced during Google I/O 2016), how do I add other people to my project or app whom I want to collaborate with? I came across IAM roles through Settings > Permissions. Is this the right way? If I add person there and assign a role, say Editor, will he/she be notified about it through email? Will a request be sent or will they be added directly to that role?
To give people access to your Firebase project, take these steps:
Select your project in the new Firebase Console
In the top left, next to the project name, click the settings/cog wheel icon
Click Users and Permissions
Click Add member
Enter the email address of the user to add and select the appropriate role as per your requirement
Click the second Add member button
The newly added users will get an email with the subject [Firebase] Invitation to join project and an option to Accept Invite in the body. Be certain to let them know that you added them so that they can accept the invite.
UPDATE 6/18/2018 - changes to Cloud Console and Google's functionality, the original solution may no longer work as shared in comments. For a recent project, I was able to add other users and permissions via Firebase console as indicated below.
Old Solution
Originally you had to choose Editor but you do not have to any more. There are new roles added to Google Cloud IAM in the other section, namely the Firebase Rules System role.
If you add a user to a Google Cloud project using IAM and assign them this role, they can access Firebase project by visiting:
https://console.firebase.google.com
The authorized project(s) should appear and they can access, without access to the rest of the Google Cloud project.
In latest version of the console adding is in a bit different.
Go To Your Project -> Project Overview -> Users and Permissions . This will open up new Pop Up.
Now click on the +Add to add the Members.
Now Add Email Id of the member. Now below that choose from the dropdown Project -> Collaborator as shown below and Save. Thats all! You are done.
If you're adding a Project owner, an invite will be sent to the new user. However, no email invites are sent for the Project Editor/Viewer roles.
From Users and Permissions tab, now, at I/O 2019, it was announced a new option to give permissions.
You can now assign to a specific collaborator, access to Analytics, Develop, Quality and Grow, each one with Admin privileges or View privileges.
