I have a domain registered with Google Domains. I was trying to sign up for the Cloud Identity free version but some how I ended up into 14-day free trial of G-Suite premium. Even if I abandon that flow and restart with a different session, I end up in the G-Suite registration process. Is there a way to not sign up for G-Suite and only use the rest of the GCP?
It seems like I resolved my issue. As it's all trial-and-error I am not sure what worked and why. Just some observations if someone else runs into this situation.
- I waited for more than 14 days, the trial period for G-Suite
premium which the system some how thought I needed to complete.
- As part of signing up for Cloud Identity, it no longer redirected
me. However, it didn't accept the email I wanted to use (which I
already used for the GCP account) saying that it's a personal
account.
- So I ended up using another email with my domain and
that allowed me to complete the Cloud Identity registration. As part
of this I completed domain verification.
- After this, there is an
option to "Rename User" which includes changing the email. I used
this to change the email back to the one I wanted and it got
accepted without any issues!
- After this I tried to login and the
system recognized that there is a personal and a business account
and which one I wanted to signin to. I used business account and
made sure everything was working.
- I also noticed that the GCP
account I originally had got under the organization (can be verified
by looking for "this account is managed by ..." when you click on
the profile.
- At this point I went ahead and deleted the
unnecessary personal account associated with my business email.
Everything seems to be working and as expected (except why a youtube redirect is needed when doing a sign-in for enterprise services?)
