I'm developing a Node.js application and trying to create a queue using Google Cloud Tasks, but I encounter the following error:
Error: 7 PERMISSION_DENIED: The principal (user or service account) lacks IAM permission "cloudtasks.queues.create" for the resource "projects/XXXXXX/locations/europe-central2" (or the resource may not exist).
Steps I've Taken:
1- Service Account Creation: I created a service account and assigned it the "Cloud Tasks Queue Admin" role (roles/cloudtasks.queueAdmin), which includes the cloudtasks.queues.create permission.
2- Client Configuration: I configured the Cloud Tasks client in my code as follows:
JAVASCRIPTconst { CloudTasksClient } = require('@google-cloud/tasks'); const clientCloudTasks = new CloudTasksClient({ keyFilename: "./serviceAccountKey.json", });
3- Queue Creation Attempt: I attempted to create a queue with this code:
JAVASCRIPTconst queuePath = clientCloudTasks.queuePath('my-project-id', 'europe-central2', 'my-queue-id'); const queue = { name: queuePath, rateLimits: { maxDispatchesPerSecond: 1, }, }; const request = { parent: clientCloudTasks.locationPath('my-project-id', 'europe-central2'), queue: queue, }; await clientCloudTasks.createQueue(request);
Additional Details:
Question:
Why am I receiving this permission error despite the configurations made?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Below is a summary of the most common causes for this issue and the steps you should verify:
Even when the service account has the right role, if the Cloud Tasks API isn’t enabled in your project, you will receive a permission error.
Action:
It’s possible that the JSON key you’re using belongs to a service account from a different project than the one in which you’re trying to create the queue. The IAM check is performed against the resource you are targeting.
Action:
'my-project-id'
) matches the project to which the service account belongs.If you recently assigned the "Cloud Tasks Queue Admin" role to the service account, sometimes it might take a short time for the changes to propagate.
Action:
Even though you assigned the correct role, ensure that:
Taking these steps should resolve the PERMISSION_DENIED error when creating your queue.

Before we focus on the permission error, let’s go back to the basics and make sure you performed these checks:
For the permission error, here are the things you can try:
Inspect the resources; make sure to use the project ID (alphanumeric) not project number (numerical value)
If Cloud Tasks API was enabled prior to March 19, 2019
service-[project-number]@gcp-sa-cloudtasks.iam.gserviceaccount.com
within the projectgrant access to your service account with the following command (if applicable or have equivalent steps for your environment):
BASHgcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {project} \ --member=serviceAccount:{service-account-email} \ --role=roles/cloudtasks.queueAdmin
(or roles/cloudtasks.admin -- not advisable but for testing purposes to see if there's any difference. Although @DazWilkin repro suggests that queueAdmin is working fine)
