Environment Details

• When connecting GCP, the following error is received - "ERROR: no organization ancestor for (project name)"

Cause

In order for the Vanta integration to work successfully, projects must exist within an organization. Projects without a parent organization are currently not supported by the Vanta integration. To check if your project exists within an organization, follow these steps.

• Navigate to the Google Cloud console and select the project selector drop-down on the top left. Find "Manage Resources" from the menu button in the modal that appears

• On the Manage Resources page, you can see all GCP projects more clearly. If you do not see the organization's icon (a building) as a parent for your projects, the projects do not currently sit within an organization. See a valid setup for Vanta below:

Resolution

• If projects are not within an organization, first create the organization
• Next, migrate your projects into the organization
