Organization is the root node in the GCP resource hierarchy, representing your company. It allows centralized management of projects, resources and policies. Folders help to group projects and other folders, providing a hierarchical structure. Folders help organize resources by departments, teams, or projects, and allow you to apply IAM policies at different levels. Projects are base-level containers for your GCP resources. Each project is a separate entity with its own settings, permissions, and billing.

In the Folders/Project step of the Create Discovery Job Configuration wizard, configure the following:

  • Choose the Folders.

  • Choose the Projects under each Folder. By default, all the Projects under a Folder are selected.

  • Click Next.

If you select the root Folders, all the current sub-folders, future sub-folders, current projects, and future projects will be automatically added to Universal Asset Insights.

If you select only the sub-folders, only the existing and new projects in the sub-folders will be added to Universal Asset Insights.

If you only select a particular project, only the project will be added to Universal Asset Insights. No new projects or sub-folders will be added.
