Conditions for Displaying 'View Projects in your organization' Checkbox in Get API Key Screen"

Google AI Studio
1

Dear Forum members,

I am trying to understand the conditions under which the “View Projects in your organization” checkbox appears on the “Get API Key” screen in Google AI Studio. I believe this is related to the IAM role settings in Google Cloud Platform.

In my testing, I have observed the following:

  • The checkbox does not appear when the user has the “Viewer” or “Browser” roles.
  • The checkbox does appear when the user has the “Editor” role.

Could you please provide more details on the specific IAM permissions required for this checkbox to be displayed? I would appreciate any documentation or guidance on this matter.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

Hi @user1306,

Your testing is aligned with the IAM definitions.

“Editor” role - grants permissions to view and manage resources within the project. Hence it should be visible.
“Viewer” or “Browser” roles - provide read-only access and may not include permissions to view all project details.

So typically “Editor” or higher roles will have access to “View Projects in your organization”.

For more information, please refer to IAM Roles Overview, Predefined Roles Reference, Choosing the Right Predefined Roles for better understanding on IAM roles
