Google Cloud Identity Sign Up

via Identity Sign Up wizard

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
