Assign roles to a billing subaccount

You can use the Partner Sales Console to grant roles to your team and customers that allow them to access billing subaccounts. Or, if you're no longer working with a customer, you can remove their role and access.

What roles can you assign?

Role What the role allows
Billing Account Creator Create new primary billing accounts.
Billing Account Administrator Manage billing accounts (but not create them).
Billing Account Costs Manager Manage budgets and view, analyze, and export cost information of a billing account.
Billing Account Viewer View billing account cost information and transactions.
Billing Account User Link projects to billing accounts.

You can also assign custom roles that you create in Google Cloud. For details about custom roles, go to Create Custom Roles for Billing.

If an email address is rejected, make sure that you're using one of the following addresses:

  • A Google Workspace or Cloud Identity account.
  • A free account used to sign in to Google products, such as YouTube or Google Drive.
  • A service account. For details, go to Service accounts overview.
  • A group in Google Groups.

If you still have issues, ask the user to create a new Google Account using the email address that you're trying to add. For details, go to How do I create a new Google Account?.
