Re: How to leave a gcp project?

Hello,

I see one project in google cloud console which I can't delete. I seem not to have permissions to do most things.

I remember I have created a project under such a name, but it's actually very likely I was added to it, but I don't have contact to it's possible owner.

I wanted to create a support case to be removed from the project in question if it's not mine, but I have no permissions to do it.

How to contact support for this case?

Hi @webczat,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Just a heads up, unidentified projects appearing on the Google Cloud Console is a known issue we’re aware of. This often happens when you've been added to the project through a Google Group, rather than being assigned permissions directly. Since you don’t have IAM modification rights, you can’t remove the group from the project’s access list.

Currently, one workaround is to leave the Google Group which should result in your account being removed from the project as well.

For more information on how to resolve this, see these related threads:

If you need more help, feel free to reach out through our available support channels for Google Cloud.

Hello,

It's not quite this case, it's more about things happening so long ago so that I don't remember stuff. If it's really not my project, I actually know who and why added me to it. I just don't have contact with that person to ask them to remove me. Also remembering that he added me to the project for some troubleshooting help reasons, I'd actually expect more permissions here, so I might just be wrong.

That's why I am asking to be removed from it irrespective of who is the owner, as it seems it's definitely not myself.
