Project roles and permissions

  • This table outlines the Google Cloud console roles and their associated permissions within Google Maps Platform.

  • Tech Support Editor and Tech Support Viewer roles will have billing case access changed in the future, recommend using Project Editor for uninterrupted permissions.

  • Billing Admins can use a workaround to create support cases.

  • Map IDs can be created or managed by Project Owners and Project Editors.

A table listing every Google Cloud console role mentioned in the Maps documentation, along with their mentioned permissions and abilities.

An empty cell indicates that a specific user role is not granted that cell's corresponding permission. Any user can hold multiple Cloud console roles in a given project. Therefore, as long as a user has a role that explicitly grants permissions to do something, another role which they also hold may not specifically bar them from doing that thing.

The Tech Support Editor and Tech Support Viewer roles currently have access to billing cases, but this will be changing in the future. To ensure proper billing case permissions without interruption, use the Project Editor role.

Billing Admins who need to create a support case can use this workaround.
