I used GAM eons ago at another company; I was OK with small scripts; cannibalizing other people's coding to get what I needed.  I consider myself a beginner.

Tried to install GAM on my new work laptop for a client and it get this error:

ERROR: Failed to create project: {'name': 'operations/cp.6385732010971652651'}

Perhaps your users doesn't have the Google Cloud access right to create projects.
Sometimes the admin locks down Google Cloud Platform.

If you're the only admin, I'll rephrase...
"Sometimes the admin locks down Google Cloud Platform, and then forgets." :-)

I'm having the exact same issue:

Google Cloud Platform

Any idea what to try next?
