Google Cloud Platform: How do I rename a Google Cloud Platform project?

Question

Is it possible to rename a Google Cloud Platform project? If so, how?

I don't need to change the project ID or number. But I do want to change the project name (the name used by/for humans to identify a cloud platform project).

Thanks for any tips!

Answer 1

The easiest way to change your project in a few seconds is to:

1. Click on the three dots on the left of your profile and then on the Project settings. No matter where you are now in the console, this option will be available.

2. Change your project name and Click SAVE.

Answer 2

1. Use the hamburger menu in the top left to switch to the "IAM & Admin" section
2. Click Settings
3. Type the new name
4. Press Save
5. Reload the page

For those wondering how to change the project ID, the official documentation says:

A project ID cannot be changed after the project is created, so if you are creating a new project, be sure to choose an ID that you'll be comfortable using for the lifetime of the project.

You can change the project name using gcloud projects update command.

First of all, you need to get the associated project ID.

gcloud projects list

Here is the example command.

gcloud projects update your-old-project-id --name="New project name"

For more information please refer this official documentation.

Note: You cannot change the ID of a project's ID or Number,you can only change the Name.

It seems that the Google console menus have changed since @Sphinxxx posted an answer to this question in 2017. (Unless for some reason my Google account is different than others. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

It is still possible to rename the project, but in order to get to the Settings page, you must first go through the "IAM & admin" menu. Here are the steps I did:

• Choose the project name from the menu just to the right of "Google APIs"
• Open the navigation menu by clicking on the three bars ("hamburger") just to the left of "Google APIs"
• Hover over IAM & admin in order to see that menu
• Click on Settings to open the settings page where you can modify the project name

NOTE: it is also possible to directly go to the settings page via the URL using the project id: - https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/settings?project=your-project-id

The easiest way it to go via the hamburger menu in the top left > "IAM & Admin" > Settings. These are the screenshots to the Google Cloud Product Settings
