I am having trouble working through the Compute Engine Quickstart: Build a to-do app with a MongoDB tutorial. (edit: I am running the tutorial from within the compute engine console; i.e. https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances?project=&tutorial=compute_quickstart)
I SSH into the backend instance. I enter the "gcloud compute" command as copied from the tutorial. I am prompted to enter a passphrase. The following is returned:
WARNING: The public SSH key file for gcloud does not exist.
WARNING: The private SSH key file for gcloud does not exist.
WARNING: You do not have an SSH key for gcloud.
WARNING: SSH keygen will be executed to generate a key.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in
...
<< Identifying detail ommitted >>
...
**ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not fetch resource:
- Insufficient Permission**
I had run through this stage of the tutorial on a previous occasion with no problems. I am working from a Windows 10 PC with the google-cloud-sdk installed. I am using google chrome. I have tried in both regular and incognito modes.
Any help or advice greatfully received!

If gcloud CLI is out of date, you may be attempting to connect using a username that is not configured. To resolve this issue, update the gcloud CLI. You tried to connect to a Windows VM that doesn't have SSH enabled. To resolve this error, set the enable-windows-ssh key to TRUE in project or instance metadata.
ssh) Could not SSH to the instance. It is possible that your SSH key has not propagated to the instance yet. Try running this command again. If you still cannot connect, verify that the firewall and instance are set to accept ssh traffic.
run sudo systemctl reload sshd. service to apply the changes. in the cloud console, there's also "open in a browser window on a custom port".
It looks like the attempt to SSH is recognising the instance in your project, but the user doesn't have the required permissions to access the machine.
Have you tried running:
gcloud auth login and completing the web-based authorization to ensure you are attempting to access the machine as the correct (authenticated) user? This process ensures the Cloud SDK you are running inherits the permissions of the user specified in the web-based authorisation. See here for more information on this.
It's also worth adding the link to the tutorial you are following to your question.
