Error when attempting to use Google AppEngine datastore admin

In the AppEngine console I have enabled datastore administration. I also enabled the remote API. However, when I try to access it I see the following message:

Error: Forbidden
Your client does not have permission to get URL

Many people seem to have a 400 (Not found) or 500 (Error), but none of the fixes for these issues seem to fix this permission problem

The permissions issue was caused by having login for my webapp restricted to one domain, while I was accessing the AppEngine administration from another domain.

As an example, AppEngine administration was being performed from support@my_developer_domain.com, whereas all the logins for the app itself were in the form xyz@client_company_domain.com.

The solution was to get the client to assign me an email address at their own domain (andy@client_company_domain.com) then invite that account to be a developer for the web app. After accepting the invitation and logging in with this account, the datastore admin page was visible.
