Onboarding Procedures

Quota Increase

By default, a Billing Account can only be linked to a certain number of projects, based on a variety of factors. A temporary workaround is to create additional billing accounts to get quota per account - or associate an existing billing account from another organization - see https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/pbmm-on-gcp-onboarding/blob/main/docs/google-cloud-onboarding.md#onboarding-category-3b1-3rd-party-email-account---3rd-party-aws-route53-domain-validation---reuse-existing-billing-account

Billing Quota

• default 5 per billing account - add 10-20 at a time https://support.google.com/code/contact/billing_quota_increase

Project Quota

• default 50 per organization - add 20-50 at a time https://support.google.com/code/contact/project_quota_increase

To submit a quota increase follow the next steps:

• try to ask for under 50 at a time - as 50 is the verification point where the automated approval may not kick in - try for 20-30
• Fill out the billing quota increase from the default 5 directly via https://support.google.com/code/contact/billing_quota_increase
• or
• Create (at least) 5 projects, or more, under the folder created in the GCP validation steps section.
• On the left menu, go to Billing and select “My Projects”. Notice that the last project has billing disabled.
• In the Actions column, click the "More Actions" (3 dots) icon corresponding to the project. Select “Change Billing”.

• Select a Billing account and click “Set Account”.

• The following message will appear. Select “Request Quota Increase”.

• Provide the required information and submit the quota increase request.

Instead of submitting a Quota Increase request, you can also create another Billing Account.

• Go to Billing, select “My Billing Accounts” and click “Create Account”.
• Provide the payment information required.

Increasing Quotas

Ask for 20 from the default 5 for project/billing association - create 6 projects and assign billing on the 6th to get the popup. Select "paid services" and you will get approved in 3 min in most cases. For example

Fill out the form - note the paid services and less than 50 request

Usually you get 2 emails - the request and the response - lately we recieve just the response for billing/quota within 3 min. This is on an account that has been on past the 90 day credit period and with previously approved requests

Cloud Identity License Increases

By default your organization receives 50 licences for Cloud Identity Free edition. This will increase to 100 if you purchase services like Google Workspaces. If you require more than 50 or 100 licences and/or are prototype identity federation you can request more licenses by filling out the following form from your admin console.

• I could have used a support case instead (don't think the client has a support contract yet) - next time
• https://console.cloud.google.com/support/createcase/v2?project=biometric-ol
