Overview#

Google Account is a GCP Identity (Digital Identity) that represents a developer, an administrator, or any other person who interacts with Google Cloud Platform.

We specifically use Google Account to identity those users which are users with a Google Account BUT NOT G-Suite Users or Service Account

Any email Address that is associated with a Google Account, such as a gmail.com address, is already an Google Account.

• New users can create a Google Account (ie gmail.com address) by going to the Google account signup page.
• Users with an existing email (but NOT Gmail) can create a Google Account using an existing email
