Project roles and permissions

A table listing every Google Cloud console role mentioned in the Maps documentation,
along with their mentioned permissions and abilities.
An empty cell indicates that a specific user role is not granted that cell's
corresponding permission. Any user can hold multiple Cloud console
roles in a given project. Therefore, as long as a user has a role that
explicitly grants permissions to do something, another role which they also hold
may not specifically bar them from doing that thing.

The Tech Support Editor and Tech Support Viewer roles currently have access
to billing cases, but this will be changing in the future. To ensure proper billing
case permissions without interruption, use the Project Editor role.
Billing Admins who need to create a support case can use this
workaround.
