There is a GCP account registered with my personal email address. Noticed, there is a suspicious project that has been created and I don’t have enough permissions to delete or even see inside it.
Are you managing the whole GCP organization? Are you able to log in to the GCP console using your personal Gmail account? Also, could you let me know which roles are assigned to your Gmail address?
The error message indicates that your Google account doesn’t have the resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy permission, which prevents you from viewing or managing the IAM policy for the project. This specific permission is required to view the IAM policies of the project. If you don’t have this permission, you will need someone with higher permissions (such as a project owner or administrator) to assign you an appropriate role.
If you’re part of a GCP organization, you might need to contact the Project Owner or Administrator for help. They can either:
Grant you the necessary permissions (e.g., a Viewer or Editor role).
Review the suspicious project and take action if necessary.
In case you’re unsure who owns or manages the project, you might want to contact your organization’s admin if this project was created within an organization.
