gcp set scopes

Here’s how to set the instance scope in GCP. Stop the server.

gcloud compute instances stop server-name

Default scopes.

gcloud beta compute instances set-scopes server-name \
--service-account=your-service-account@gserviceaccount.com \
--scopes=default \
--project your-project-id \

Change scopes by adding storage-rw to default.

gcloud alpha compute instances set-scopes servername \
--service-account=your-service-account@gserviceaccount.com \
--scopes=default,storage-rw \
--project your-project-id \
--zone=us-central1-c

Start the server.

gcloud compute instances start server-name
