title: 'Scanning a Specific GCP Organization'
---

By default, Prowler scans all Google Cloud projects accessible to the authenticated user.

To limit the scan to projects within a specific Google Cloud organization, use the `--organization-id` option with the GCP organization’s ID:

```console
prowler gcp --organization-id organization-id
```

<Warning>
Ensure the credentials used have one of the following roles at the organization level:
Cloud Asset Viewer (`roles/cloudasset.viewer`), or Cloud Asset Owner (`roles/cloudasset.owner`).

</Warning>
<Note>
With this option, Prowler retrieves all projects under the specified Google Cloud organization, including those organized within folders and nested subfolders. This ensures full visibility across the entire organization’s hierarchy.

</Note>
<Note>
To obtain the Google Cloud organization ID, use:

```console
gcloud organizations list
```
