As described in the overview, there are two paths you can follow to sign up for Google Cloud Identity; this describes sign up via the Identity Sign Up wizard.
Pre-requisites
Land-line or cell phone
This process requires sign-in verification via land-line or cell phone.
Domain
Register a domain (eg. Google domain; requires a Google identity (can be gmail) for bootstrap)
For Google domains
- Do NOT add GSuite users when you register the domain: the Cloud Identity sign-up wizard will fail.
- Registering for G Suite establishes an indirect business relationship via Google Domains, so the wizard can’t establish a direct business relationship with Google Cloud for Cloud Identity licenses.
- You will be prompted to provide an email address
- This can be any pre-existing address; you just need to be able to use it from the same browser session from which you use your GCP project owner
- Go to your email and verify your email address
Sign up for Cloud Identity
- Goto the sign-up wizard
- Provide information about your business and location
- Provide your email address; this can be any pre-existing address; it’s used exclusively for contact
- Provide the name of your existing domain and confirm it; this will be used for domain verification.
- Provide the name you want to use to administer your Cloud Identity domain; this is strictly descriptive information associated with your account id
- Provide the id and password you want to use to administer your Cloud Identity domain, eg. admin, and submit.
- Confirm you’re not a robot, agree to the terms and conditions, and create your account
- Go to setup
- Log-in
