# Troubleshooting GCP Data Collection

### Event: Project does not exist or incorrect permissions

The following are common issues when working with GCP cloud connections:

<Accordion title="Cause: Project no longer exists">
  Solution: If the Project no longer exists, the connection can be deleted using the Public Cloud Connection Wizard. See [Deleting a Connection](../Densify_Com/Using_the_Public_Cloud_Connection_Wizard.htm#Deleting).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Cause: Project exists, but has incorrect permissions">
  Solution: Ensure [Minimum Permissions for Data Collection](../Data_Collection_for_Public_Cloud_Systems/Google_Cloud_Platform_Data_Collection_Prerequisites.htm#Min_Policy) are set correctly.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Cause: Project exists, but is configured incorrectly">
  Solution: If the minimum permissions are set correctly, see [Google Cloud Platform Data Collection Prerequisites](../Data_Collection_for_Public_Cloud_Systems/Google_Cloud_Platform_Data_Collection_Prerequisites.htm) to verify the prerequisites are setup correctly.

  Once the account and credentials have been corrected, you can then verify the connection using the Public Cloud Connection Wizard. See [Reviewing a Connection](../Densify_Com/Using_the_Public_Cloud_Connection_Wizard.htm#Review_Conn).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Cause: PERMISSION_DENIED: This API method requires billing to be enabled.">
  The billing method for the audited project(s) has expired or has not been configured correctly. For example, the credit card used to setup the project has expired.

  Solution: Refer to the GCP documentation for details of configuring a billing method for your projects: [https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158867](https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158867)
