-------------------------------------
Summary: Instructions for connecting to Google Compute Engine
missing a scope step
Key: LIBCLOUD-900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-900
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Dylan Semler
Priority: Trivial
The instructions for using libcloud with GCE cloud storage[1] are quite good,
except they appear to be missing a step. If you follow the instructions using
a Service Account and then follow the first example, you will get an error
{noformat}
GoogleBaseError: {'domain': 'global', 'reason': 'forbidden', 'message':
"Required 'compute.zones.list' permission for 'projects/<project id>'"}
{noformat}
The user needs to take an additional step to provide the newly-created service
account permission to list the compute zones. I don't know if there are other
ways to achieve this, but one way is to go to IAM & Admin -> IAM (on the left
menu panel) -> ADD. Fill in your new service account in the Members field and
then select the role Compute Engine -> Compute Network Viewer.
