How do we setup Organization in GCP?

How do we setup Organization in GCP? Can we do it in Individual – Console – Gmail Account?

The answer to your question is YES (partially). When we use Gmail account an organization resource will be created automatically for us. To understand this better, please read below excerpts from google docs:

Google Cloud users are not required to have an Organization resource, but some features of Resource Manager will not be usable without one. The Organization resource is closely associated with a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity account. When a user with a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity account creates a Google Cloud Project, an Organization resource is automatically provisioned for them.

1) If you are new to Google Cloud and have not created a project yet, the organization resource will be created for you when you log in to the Google Cloud console and accept the terms and conditions.

2) If you are an existing Google Cloud user, the organization resource will be created for you when you create a new project or billing account. Any projects you created previously will be listed under "No organization", and this is normal. The organization resource will appear and the new project you created will be linked to it automatically.
