# Adding new GCP projects as an existing user

## Step 1: Grant the viewer permission to the service account

{% hint style="info" %}
To import all of your projects in a particular organization at once, grant Viewer permission at Organization IAM to the service account you used during [initial onboarding](https://docs.economize.cloud/google-cloud).
{% endhint %}

Navigate to the [IAM console](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam), and complete the steps below to grant the service account permission to access project resources.

1. At the top of the IAM console, select the organization or project you wish to onboard.
2. Configure the permission as follows:

   * In the center of the page, under **Permissions for project "My Project XYZ"**, click **+ GRANT ACCESS**.
   * In the **New principals** field, under **Add principals**, paste the value of the service account you used during initial onboarding.
   * In the **Role** field, under **Assign roles**, search for and select **Viewer**.
