cloudresourcemanager.projects.create api call not working.

[Charles Moore]

Hello,

I need the capability to create projects with an API call. cloudresourcemanager.projects.create seems to be what I'm looking for but it says that I don't have proper permission. Anyone have an Idea of what the issue is here? Why do I need permission to create a new project?

Function...

from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials

from googleapiclient import discovery

from googleapiclient import *

import time

cloudresourcemanager = discovery.build ('cloudresourcemanager', 'v1beta1', credentials=credentials)

def create_project(name, projectid):

    body = {

        "name": name,

        "projectId": projectid

    }

    request = cloudresourcemanager.projects().create(body=body).execute()

    return request

script...

from gcloudapi import *

import time

project='the-project'

projectid='the-project-1'

name='the-network-2'

region='us-central1'

subnetName='the-sub-2'

ipCidrRange='10.122.0.0/20'

create_project(project, projectid)

Error....
