Unable to open or configure OAuth consent screen in Google Cloud Console

Hello everyone,

I’m running into a strange problem where I can’t actually access the OAuth consent screen editor for my project, even though I’ve already selected External and I have Owner permissions on the project. Every time I navigate to:

APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen

I’m only ever shown the “Overview” page, with no option to “CONFIGURE CONSENT SCREEN.” Clicking the blue Edit app button never appears, and there is no way for me to enter the required fields (App name, User support email, Developer contact email, etc.) to get it out of Draft.

I’ve tried:

  • Verifying I’m in the correct project via the project selector

  • Directly visiting the URL:

    https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent?project=MY_PROJECT_ID

    but it still just redirects me to the Overview screen

  • Ensuring I have the Owner role and the “OAuth Configuration Admin” and “Service Usage Admin” permissions

  • Checking for any organization policies around OAuthExternalProject, but nothing obvious is blocking me

Has anyone else experienced this UI bug or know what permission or policy might be preventing the CONFIGURE CONSENT SCREEN button from appearing? Any ideas on how to unblock this so I can properly set up my OAuth consent screen?

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I’m experiencing the same issue – were you able to resolve this one?

same here. Can someone from Google please help us?

Same issue for me

Same issue for me. I can’t believe that google would be ignoring this. It’s bad enough that the UI for console is so terrible, but this is beyond the pale. The usual response is - blame the user.

I’m under the same circumstances! I’ve asked to verify my website several times and it keeps saying my brand is not shown to users
