Hello Google AI Studio team, I am experiencing a persistent permissions issue in Google AI Studio. When accessing Google AI Studio and trying to work with my projects, I receive an error similar to: **“Failed to list imported projects: permission denied. Please try again.”** The issue appears to be specific to **Google AI Studio**. I previously contacted **Firebase Support** because I wanted to confirm whether this behavior could be related to Firebase Studio or a workspace migration. Firebase Support reviewed the case and clarified that this is **not related to Firebase Studio migration or Firebase services**. They also confirmed that Firebase and Google AI Studio are separate products and advised me to report the issue here in the Google AI Developers Forum. ### Current situation - My Google account itself is accessible normally. - The problem occurs specifically when accessing Google AI Studio / imported projects. - The Firebase-related issue I had previously encountered was already resolved and is **not the subject of this report**. - This report concerns only the current Google AI Studio permission problem. - I am unable to reliably list/access/import the projects I should have access to. ### Error `Failed to list imported projects: permission denied. Please try again.` In some flows, the problem appears to be a broader `PERMISSION_DENIED` condition related to Google AI Studio access. ### Expected behavior Google AI Studio should list the Google Cloud projects available to my account and allow me to import or access eligible projects. ### Actual behavior Google AI Studio fails to list or access the projects and returns a permission-denied error. ### What has already been checked - Google account access is working. - This is not a Firebase Studio workspace migration issue. - Firebase Support has confirmed that troubleshooting this issue is outside the Firebase product scope. - The issue was therefore redirected to the Google AI Studio / Google AI Developers team. ### Request Could you please help determine whether: 1. there is an account-level restriction affecting Google AI Studio; 2. there is a project-level restriction preventing AI Studio from listing/importing the project; 3. additional IAM permissions or Google Cloud configuration are required; 4. the account/project has been incorrectly restricted by Google AI Studio; 5. there is an internal access restriction that requires review by the Google AI Studio team. I can provide the **Google Cloud Project ID, Project Number, screenshots, timestamps and any additional diagnostic information privately if required**. For security reasons, I prefer not to publish sensitive project/account identifiers in the public thread. Thank you for your assistance. Leandro ---

Hello @Intelectus_Solucoes , We have recently rolled out a mandatory age verification initiative across signed-in customers globally, Accounts that have not completed explicit date-of-birth/identity verification should do so by navigating to [Google Account Age Verification](https://myaccount.google.com/age-verification) or verifying date of birth in [Google Account Personal Info](https://myaccount.google.com/personal-info)." Also, Make sure you are accessing AI Studio from one of the [supported regions](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/available-regions), disconnect any VPN, proxy, or iCloud Private Relay and access AI Studio directly. After completing these steps, please try again in a few hours, If you still face issues, please let us know.
