Add MemberPress as Admin to Your Google Cloud Console

The MemberPress App add-on brings MemberPress membership sites to mobile platforms, giving members convenient access through iOS and Android apps. For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, MemberPress offers a Done-For-You (DFY) service in which the MemberPress team manages the entire app build and configuration process.

To configure push notifications and other cloud services for the mobile app, the MemberPress team requires Owner access to the Google Cloud Console project. This document provides step-by-step instructions for granting MemberPress the required permissions.

Understanding Google Cloud IAM Roles

Google Cloud uses Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access to resources. The main roles relevant to this setup are:

• Owner: Full access to all resources and settings, including the ability to manage IAM permissions;
• Herausgeber: Edit access to all resources, but cannot manage IAM permissions;
• Viewer: Read-only access to all resources.

The MemberPress team requires the Owner role to configure Firebase, push notifications, and other services for the mobile app.

Voraussetzungen

Before proceeding, the following requirements must be met:

• Eine aktive Google Cloud project;
• Owner or IAM Admin access to the Google Cloud Console project.

Important Notes

• The Owner role grants full access to all project resources, including the ability to manage other users' permissions.
• Unlike invitations in App Store Connect and the Google Play Console, Google Cloud IAM permissions do not require acceptance. Access is granted immediately after saving.
• The granted access does not expire unless manually revoked.

Verifying the Access
