Unable to Create Google Cloud Console Project

I'm attempting to create my first Google Cloud project, however, after I enter the project name and project id (as per instructions here) I receive the following error:

"Error

Cloud Console has not been activated for your account. Your account may be suspended or disabled. If you are a Google Apps user, ask your domain administrator to enable Apphosting Admin on your account."

I received the same initial error message. I quickly copy and pasted the message into a google search and found this post. I went to follow the instructions for the top answer on this post, but google wouldn't let me log in or there was some weird loop of logging in and then selecting which google account to log in with. I then navigated back to my developer account and then my new project was created and selected in the list of projects. Note that, unlike the original poster, I had already had three existing projects, don't know if that makes a difference, but I'm sure it's possible. Here's a pic so you may see exactly what I'm referring to. As you can see, the project I was trying to create is called 'Neighborhood Map Project' and is selected from the project list dropdown. I feel like I dodged a bullet here and saved myself two hours of fiddling around and I wanted to share my experience with you all so that you may quickly resolve your problem like I did.

Cheers

I found it! Holy crap that was hard.

  1. Go into your domain administration @ https://admin.google.com/AdminHome
  2. Click the "More controls" link at the bottom the page
  3. Within the panel that reveals, click "Other Google Services"
  4. Scroll down to "Google App Engine Admin Console" (jet engine w/ wings)
  5. Click the name (don't check it, that won't do anything)
  6. Under the logo, change the setting from "Off" to either "On for everyone" or "On for some organizations"
  7. Confirm your choice

The pop-up claims that it'll take up to 24 hours for the change to propagate, but I was able to successfully create a new application in cloud.google.com within 5 minutes.

This whole experience demonstrates how Google either doesn't care about this market and has ceded it to Amazon or has a totally inept product team working on it.

Found the solution: In our Google Apps domain settings, it was necessary to enable the service "Google App Engine Admin Console"
