Permissions on Google Cloud resources are assigned to principals. Principals, in principle 😏, are Google accounts. My personal @gmail.com address, for example, is the principal that "owns" most of my Google Cloud stuff. So far, so good.
However, in some cases, I was required to delegate ownership of a resource to a principal with an @poketto.me email address — a domain for which I don’t have a Google Workspace account. Consequently, these addresses aren’t recognized as regular Google Accounts. (See exhibit A)
The chatbots on Google’s support pages were… less than helpful. But Gemini knew exactly what to do 🚀
