I'm using node.js google api (npm gcloud package) to create a new project. this is a beta API. I'm getting an error: "The caller does not have permission" stack:

ApiError: The caller does not have permission at new util.ApiError (C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\lib\common\util.js:92:10) at Object.parseHttpRespBody (C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\lib\common\util.js:170:30) at Object.handleResp (C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\lib\common\util.js:110:18) at C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\lib\common\util.js:422:12 at Request.onResponse [as _callback] (C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\node_modules\retry-request\index.js:117:7) at Request.init.self.callback (C:\app\bundle\a2\node_modules\gcloud\node_modules\request\request.js:199:22) at Request.emit (events.js:110:17) at Request.

I already enabled "Google Cloud Resource Manager API". Other calls works OK. What may be the problem?

The Cloud Resource Manager's projects.create method is invite only per their documentation:

The projects.create() method is in the Alpha stage. It might be changed in backward-incompatible ways and is not recommended for production use. It is not subject to any SLA or deprecation policy. Access to this feature is currently invite-only. For an invitation, contact our sales team.
