In that way, the actions of your personal account don&amp;#x27;t affect the GCP project (and vice versa).&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#x27;re worried about access, you can establish a service account with Owner level access. Or you can add other Google Accounts to the project. (Here are the docs on that: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cloud.google.com&amp;#x2F;iam&amp;#x2F;docs&amp;#x2F;overview&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cloud.google.com&amp;#x2F;iam&amp;#x2F;docs&amp;#x2F;overview&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;p&gt;I personally have all my Google stuff separated into 3 accounts (work, personal email, and personal Google-y things). My work account has access to the projects on GCP, along with some coworkers. That puts up enough of a firewall between various services so that if Google throws down the banhammer, it&amp;#x27;s not totally game over for me.</text></comment>
