HI guys,

Hoping someone can help me figure out what i'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to use my GAM project on a new PC (replaced mine), I run the command "gam use project gam-project-number"

I go through the process, then at the end I get:

"Project: gam-project-number, Service Account: gam-project-number, Enable Failed: Service account gam-project-number already exists within project projects/gam-project-number"

I don't understand what am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you,

I'm running into a similar issue, trying to share GCP but getting service account error, so I tried creating a separate service account ( I know now that's what is recommended) and specify it using this: 
     gam use project  <EmailAddress> <ProjectID> <ServiceAccountName>

but I keep getting: ERROR: Extra Argument
What am I doing wrong coach?
