I've been going round in circles for the last 15 minutes, trying to sign up for access. I've tried every ID I can find in my account for the "Google Cloud Platform user account ID", but none seem to be working, and it won't allow me to submit the form without a valid ID.

Is anyone else having the same issue/know where I can find this ID?

As it's for whitelisting, it is generally an e-mail address - the ID you are logged into Google with when accessing the Cloud console. If that doesn't work for you, let me know - I work on GCP and I can ping the people who can fix it.

It worked — thanks!

I already quit the signup process once because I got frustrated trying to find the ID and couldn't, then came back later, still no success.

Anyone who has successfully signed up, where is the user account ID?

Apologies for the difficulty in entering your information. We just need the email address that you use to log onto the GCP console. For your project Id - you can find that in the developer console. IF you click on Dashboard and the upper Left corner has the Project Name and the project Id.

i was confused by this too, i have never seen a 'google cloud platform user account id' before and i have been using app engine for years - so i just used the email address tied to my app engine account, seemed to work just fine

Indeed, it does. Thanks.
