Unable to create a project even with Project Admin rights

I am trying to create a project but I keep getting the following error:

“You need additional access to project , This could be because you have insufficient permissions to access the resource, or because a Principal Access Boundary policy is blocking your access to the resource”

Then there is additional information that says: “Missing permissions: resourcemanager.projects.get”

I have checked the following:

  1. Principal access boundary is not enabled

  2. Google Cloud Platform services is “on” for everyone

  3. I have the roles for my organization: owner, organization administrator, create service accounts, project creator, project IAM admin

Any assistance appreciated.

Hello @khundley ,

Thank you for contacting Google Cloud Community.

I understand that you are unable to create a project due to lack of required permissions. Please correct me, if I misunderstood.

Please be aware that to create a project you require, “resourcemanager.organizations.get” and “resourcemanager.projects.create” permissions. The Project Creator role contains these permissions and one should be able to create a project with this role. Please try creating a custom role with permissions mentioned above and see if you are able to create a project.

Common Pitfalls in this Issue could be :

  1. Using a different account which is not having the required permissions.

  2. Organization policies restricting the creation of the project.

I hope the above provided information is helpful :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks & Regards,

I’m facing this exact issue despite having the Project Creator role and me being the super admin in GCP. There’s no restriction on the org level too.
