Hi,
I have an organisation with a Resource Location Restriction in europe-west3-locations applicable to all projects in the organisation. I want to set up a Storage Transfer Service job to take data from an external project (managed by an external organisation) with location in the us-central1-locations into my european buckets. We have already successfully assigned read-write permissions to the the storage transfer service's service account for both locations. The data transfer works only if I modify my policy to allow resources in the US locations, otherwise the request gets blocked by the policy. Is this how this is supposed to work? I'm a bit surprised since a simple gsutil cp between the same locations is not blocked by the Resource Location Restriction. Any help appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
These two links are useful to explain the behaviour.

So, what I experience is as expected.
