I have encountered the same problem. It sounds like a IAM permission issue, but I can't figure it out as I am using the owner account for testing and can't get it to work.

@ethan-seer I am not sure if you are still having this issue, but found this post that solved my problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39978077/gcloud-exceptions-forbidden-403-missing-or-insufficient-permissions I had used gcloud auth login and evidently I needed to use gcloud auth application-default login

Thanks @briantq . I figured out it was because I am in a beta that blocked my access. Thanks for f/u.
