Permission denied

If you are getting a Permission denied error when running the script, double check that you have enabled Read/Write access in the Cloud API access scopes. You can check this by going into your VM instance on the Google Cloud Console and scroll down to the list labeled Cloud API access scopes and check for the entry Compute.
