Table: gcp_organization - Query GCP Organizations using SQL

A GCP Organization represents a collection of GCP resources that share common IAM policies. It is the root node in the GCP resource hierarchy and is associated with a domain that has a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity account. The Organization resource provides centralized control and oversight of all GCP resources.

Table Usage Guide

The gcp_organization table provides insights into GCP Organizations within Google Cloud Platform. As a cloud architect or administrator, explore organization-specific details through this table, including their associated metadata, lifecycle state, directory customer ID, and more. Utilize it to uncover information about organizations, such as their creation time, owner details, and the verification of IAM policies.

Important Notes
