Enable storage permission on Google Cloud VM instance

Question

I have a Google Cloud VM instance, but I overlooked setting the Storage permission to read-write when creating it.

Now further down the line, I'm looking to experiment with cloud storage, but my instance is read-only.

How can this be changed? I understand it may be possible by relaxing the storage buckets policy, but I'd prefer my instance had write access to all future project buckets.

I presume there is an option in gcloud to change the devstorage parameter?

Answer 1

So, you can't change the option to grant the VM permission, but I did find that you can just run

gcloud auth login

then you can sign in with your management account from the VM and you'll be able to run commands that way.
