Google managed virtual machine error: App Engine service account has insufficient permissions for the project

Question

When I edit the appengine-web.xml file to include the necessary settings for deploying the application for application applications as a managed vm (via Eclipse or gcloud), and then try to download it, I get this error:

The App Engine service account does not have enough authority for the project. Developer or owner.

I registered as the owner when I get this error. Booting as an unmanaged virtual machine (regular App Engine sandbox) works fine. If anyone has suggestions on what to try, it will be very appreciated!

Answer 1

Perhaps you accidentally deleted the service account of the engine application on the Permissions tab, try adding the editor’s permissions to your-app-id @ appspot.gserviceaccount.com.

Hope this helps!
