on Sep 16, 2015 ContributorAuthorMore actionsCarrying this over from #851:
Yea, creating right now can only be done by a "person". In Python, this works by first running
gcloud auth loginon the command-line.Does gcloud-node pick up the Cloud SDK's credentials in the same way? If so, these will work nicely.
Eventually, service accounts will be able to create projects, but that isn't the case yet.
- @jgeewax
We do support the gcloud sdk's credentials (thanks to google-auth-library), but it still returns "The caller does not have permission" when trying to create a project. To confirm the credentials are being picked up, after doing
gcloud auth revoke, the same API call returns "invalid_grant" instead.- addedstatus: blockedResolving the issue is dependent on other work.Resolving the issue is dependent on other work.
on Oct 1, 2015 @jgeewax maybe a whitelisting issue? Project ID is nth-circlet-705.
Give it a try now?

on Oct 10, 2015 ContributorAuthorMore actionsIt works! So, I guess since this is just an issue of the API being officially released, there's nothing left to do with the codebase.
- Yep -- it's just a whitelist only API apparently... the docs are public, but the API itself is 'by request'

Resource Manager support was integrated in #860, but with many limitations:
Right now, Resource Manager can only get a list of projects from a user and the metadata for them. Other operations (the ones above) return a 403.
