When attempting to configure shared VPC, I am greeted by "You don't have permissions to perform the action on the selected resource."

This makes no sense, as I have Shared VPC Admin, Owner, Service Account Administrator, and Organization Administrator roles, among others.

Not only do I not doubt that that list includes overlapping permissions, but I went ahead and threw a few more on the heap. I certainly have the permission nodes documented at https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/shared-vpc.

Any idea what I need to do?

Configuring shared VPC host projects, and using Shared VPC networks involves a minimum of three different administrative IAM roles as mentioned in this help center article. Make sure you are ( i.e ID: email address) an IAM member and have the ‘owner’ role in this project having ‘Shared VPC Admin’ role. To have permission for provisioning a Shared VPC, it is required that an Organization Admin will nominate members ‘Shared VPC Admin’ role for the organization. It's worth mentioning that this role is assigned in the organization level, not in project level like ‘owner’ role. From the error message, I am suspecting that this role is assigned in the organization level, not in project level like ‘owner’ role.

It would appear that this was some kind of issue with the web console. I was able to do what I needed from the commandline with gcloud, after which interacting from the web console worked properly.
