I've created a backup from a project that I'd like to import into a new project. I'm getting the following error:


I added the following permissions (referencing the target application) to the bucket BEFORE creating the backup:

Project    owners-xxxxxxxxxxxx    Owner

I'm becoming very frustrated with GAE and it's cloud relationship. I'm only trying to move my datasore because I cannot upload to the blobstore and I cannot use v2 SQL instances in my old app and I've no way to get resolution from google. See my other recent posts.

Maybe google is discouraging app engine? I know that I'm discouraged.

This is likely app/project-specific, based on your other posts in this group.  Let me follow up with you off-thread for some additional details.

To follow up on this thread, this issue and the other two involving CloudSQL v2 and blobstore were due to permissions / ACLs / IAM Roles not being correctly set for the App Engine default service account.  Explicitly adding the App Engine default service account as a Project Editor will resolve the issues.

This can occur for two reasons, in my experience.  In rare cases, App Engine apps older than ~2014 may not have an App Engine default service account.  Most commonly, though, the default service account has been deleted without understanding the implication.  In either case, recreating the App Engine default service account will not set the service account into any IAM Roles for the project.  This service account currently expects the Project-level role of Editor.  If the service account does not appear in your IAM & Admin > IAM permissions view for your project, you must add it as you would add any other project member and provide it the appropriate role.

Cheers,
