Firestore Export

[phi...@nex.team]

Hi there,

I am trying out the new export feature of the FireStore as shown on this link, and I keep getting error message:

gcloud alpha firestore export gs://backup --async

ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.firestore.export) PERMISSION_DENIED: Service account does not have access to Google Cloud Storage file: /backup. See https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/export-import-entities#permissions for a list of permissions needed. Error details: proje...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com does not have storage.buckets.get access to backup.

I've run the command to add my service account as a storage.admin, and that command succeed:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding projectABC --member='serviceAccount: proje...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com' --role='roles/storage.admin'

Could someone help?

Is your bucket actually called "backup" in the console, or was that a placeholder? Otherwise, it might be trying to access a bucket outside your product.
