    • QUOTE: This page describes the Google Cloud resource hierarchy and the resources that can be managed using Resource Manager.
    • The purpose of the Google Cloud resource hierarchy is two-fold:
      • Provide a hierarchy of ownership, which binds the lifecycle of a resource to its immediate parent in the hierarchy.
      • Provide attach points and inheritance for access control and organization policies.
    • Metaphorically speaking, the Google Cloud resource hierarchy resembles the file system found in traditional operating systems as a way of organizing and managing entities hierarchically. Generally, each resource has exactly one parent. This hierarchical organization of resources enables you to set access control policies and configuration settings on a parent resource, and the policies and Identity and Access Management (IAM) settings are inherited by the child resources.
