Transfer Projects Between Organizations

[Lucas_Ruffo_Consulto]

I have a couple of projects which belongs to a organization that I don’t have access (the org administrator left the company)

I have full access to these projects, so I’m able to perform any actions needed at the project scope.

I create a new organization and I’m trying to migrate these project to the new organization. However, following the GCP documentation it’s says that I need the following permission:

Project Mover (roles/resourcemanager.projectMover) on the project's parent resource (folder or organization resource).

And when I try to migrate, it shows a permission denied Error requiring “resourcemanager.projects.update” action.

How to migrate these projects between the organizations if nobody has access to the source organization to add this permission?

Thank you!

Hey Lucas,
Since you cannot access the source organization to grant yourself the neccessary role, the standard migration process is not possible.

I would recommend logging a billing case at https://console.cloud.google.com/support/chat.

You’ll need to go through the verification process to re-establish administrative access to the old organization, after which you can grant the necessary permissions to migrate the projects yourself.
