Creating a bucket using Google Cloud Platform Deployment Manager Template

Question

I'm trying to create a bucket using GCP Deployment Manager. I already went through the QuickStart guide and was able to create a compute.v1.instance. But I'm trying to create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage, but am unable to get anything other than 403 Forbidden.

This is what my template file looks like.

resources:
- type: storage.v1.bucket
  name: test-bucket
  properties:
    project: my-project
    name: test-bucket-name

This is what I'm calling

gcloud deployment-manager deployments create deploy-test --config deploy.yml

And this is what I'm receiving back

Waiting for create operation-1474738357403-53d4447edfd79-eed73ce7-cabd72fd...failed.
ERROR: (gcloud.deployment-manager.deployments.create) Error in Operation operation-1474738357403-53d4447edfd79-eed73ce7-cabd72fd: <ErrorValue
 errors: [<ErrorsValueListEntry
 code: u'RESOURCE_ERROR'
 location: u'deploy-test/test-bucket'
 message: u'Unexpected response from resource of type storage.v1.bucket: 403 {"code":403,"errors":[{"domain":"global","message":"Forbidden","reason":"forbidden"}],"message":"Forbidden","statusMessage":"Forbidden","requestPath":"https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/test-bucket"}'>]>

I have credentials setup, and I even created an account owner set of credentials (which can access everything) and I'm still getting this response.

Any ideas or good places to look? Is it my config or do I need to pass additional credentials in my request?

I'm coming from an AWS background, still finding my way around GCP.

Thanks

Buckets on Google Cloud Platform need to be unique. If you try to create a bucket with a name that is already used by somebody else (on another project), you will receive an ERROR MESSAGE. I would test by creating a new bucket with another name.
