Your organization has three existing Google Cloud projects. You need to bill the Marketing department for only their Google Cloud services for a new initiative within their group. What should you do?
A.
1. Verify that you are assigned the Billing Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 2. Link the new project to a Marketing Billing Account.
B.
1. Verify that you are assigned the Billing Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud account. 2. Create a new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 3. Set the default key-value project labels to department:marketing for all services in this project.
C.
1. Verify that you are assigned the Organization Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud account. 2. Create a new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 3. Link the new project to a Marketing Billing Account.
D.
1. Verify that you are assigned the Organization Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud account. 2. Create a new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 3. Set the default key-value project labels to department:marketing for all services in this project.
I understand that the question implies the creation of a new project, however neither of the roles listed have that functionality. If you chose B you are choosing an answer that has a direct contradiction because the Billing Account Admin does not have the permissions to create a new project. Thus, I think it is better to assume the new initiative/project is already created or being created by someone else and your job is simply to link the project to the account which you do have the appropriate permissions to perform.
A is my choice.
Worth noting that an Organization Administrator doesn't have permissions to deal with billing, so I think C/D are no good:
https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles#resourcemanager.organizationAdmin
The billing account administrator role can also be given at the project level. A is correct. Refer to this doc: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access
According to gcp docs - https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles#resourcemanager.organizationAdmin. Org Admin does not have this permission -> resourcemanager.projects.create, necessary to create project. So C and D are out
By assigning the Organization Administrator IAM role, you will have the necessary permissions to manage the organization's Google Cloud resources.
Creating a new project for the Marketing department ensures that their services are isolated and billed separately.
Linking the new project to a Marketing Billing Account allows you to track and manage the billing specifically for the Marketing department's initiatives.
Setting default key-value project labels to department:marketing for all services in this project (as mentioned in option D) is not necessary for billing purposes, but it can be helpful for organizing and categorizing resources within the project.
Answer is C.
Billing Administrator IAM: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/job-functions/billing
Organization Administrator IAM: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles
Billing Administrator IAM
The Billing Administrator IAM role allows users to manage billing-related tasks for a specific project. These tasks include:
-Viewing and managing billing accounts
-Setting billing alerts
-Configuring payment methods
-Monitoring billing activity
-Organization Administrator IAM
The Organization Administrator IAM role allows users to manage overall Google Cloud usage and resources within an organization. These tasks include:
-Creating and deleting projects
-Managing users and groups
-Setting up IAM policies
-Enabling and configuring Cloud services
C. Verify that you are assigned the Organization Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud account. 2. Create a new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 3. Link the new project to a Marketing Billing Account.
To bill the Marketing department for only their Google Cloud services for a new initiative within their group, you need to create a new Google Cloud project for the Marketing department and link it to a Marketing Billing Account.
Option C: This option is accurate. As an Organization Administrator, you have the authority to create new projects within the organization's Google Cloud account. After creating the new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department, you can link the project to a specific Marketing Billing Account to ensure that only their services are billed under their initiative.
C. doesn't provide the necessary permission to link a billing account to a projet.
B. and D. don't provide the necessary permission to create a new projet.
Furthermore, labels are used to filter resources in the billing breakdown. (See: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/labeling-resources#what-are-labels). Also, billing is set at a project level (See: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project#overview): "A Cloud Billing account is used to define who pays for a given set of resources, and it can be linked to one or more projects. Project usage is charged to the linked Cloud Billing account."
Answer A. is the only correct option.
C. 1. Verify that you are assigned the Organization Administrator IAM role for your organization's Google Cloud account. 2. Create a new Google Cloud Project for the Marketing department. 3. Link the new project to a Marketing Billing Account.
This approach ensures that you have the necessary permissions (Organization Administrator IAM role) to create a new project for the Marketing department. After creating the project, you'll link it to a Marketing Billing Account so that only their Google Cloud services are billed to their department. This way, you can separate costs for the Marketing department's new initiative from other projects in your organization.
D is da way to go, I think.
An Organization Administrator can create projects. Owner of a new project is its creator. Owner can add labels to the project, and this is exactly the requirement here: selective billing (filtering) via labels.
