ERROR: (gcloud.iot.devices.create) PERMISSION_DENIED

Question

I keep getting permission denied when trying to do gcloud commands

gcloud iot devices create 'aq-rpi' --project='aqmon' --region='us-central1' --registry='aqmon' --public-key path=rsa_cert.pem,type=rs256

ERROR: (gcloud.iot.devices.create) PERMISSION_DENIED: The caller does not have permission

and

gcloud iam roles list --project aqmon

ERROR: (gcloud.iam.roles.list) User [[email protected]] does not have permission to access project [aqmon] (or it may not exist): You don't have permission to list roles in projects/aqmon.

I am the owner of the project, and the project is a freshly created project that I created via the dashboard.

This is my first time using Google's IoT offerings. I've spent several hours trying different things, but I'm at a loss and unable to move forward with even the basic tutorials for IoT Core. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Here is the output of gcloud info

Answer 1

You're attempting to use the project name 'aqmon' in your commands, but your project is actually 'aqmon-223120'.
