Every Apps Script project is associated with a project in Google Cloud. There
are 2 types of Cloud projects for Apps Script:
Default Cloud projects: Apps Script automatically creates and manages a
Google Cloud project each time someone creates and runs an Apps Script
project. To learn more, refer to Default Cloud projects.
Standard Cloud projects: Users can create and manage their own Cloud
projects for advanced Apps Script use cases. To learn more, refer to Standard
Cloud projects.
To view your organization’s default and standard Cloud projects in the Cloud
console, you must have the resourcemanager.projects.list permission for your
organization. If you want to view standard and default projects separately, you
also need resourcemanager.folders.list permission. To set view permissions for
projects in your organization, refer to Assign view permission for all Cloud
projects in an organization.
To edit your organization’s standard and default Cloud projects in the Cloud
console, you must have the resourcemanager.projects.update permission for your
organization. To set edit permissions for
projects in your organization, refer to Assign edit permission for all Cloud
projects in an organization.
View or edit default Cloud projects
Default projects fall under the
Organization root > system-gsuite > apps-script folder in the Cloud resource
hierarchy. Don't delete these folders. If you do, Apps Script can't create
default projects and won't execute scripts properly.
To view the system-gsuite and apps-script folders, you must have
resourcemanager.folders.list permission. If you only have
resourcemanager.projects.list permission, standard and default projects show
up together in one list. Default project IDs start with sys-.
To view or edit the default projects in your organization, take the following
steps:
Next to your organization, click Expand node arrow_drop_down.
The list of projects includes all standard Cloud projects whether or not they
have Apps Script projects associated with them.
If you don’t have resourcemanager.folders.list permission, you might see default Cloud projects in the same list as standard Cloud projects.
To tell the difference between the two, default project IDs start with sys-.
Next to the project you want to view or edit, click
More more_vert>Settings. The project opens in the
Cloud console and you can make your changes.
