Unable to create project in Google Cloud: "Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service"

I try to create my first Google Project, and i got this error

Create Project: My Project

APPHOSTING_ADMIN Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service. com.google.apps.framework.request.StatusException: generic::FAILED_PRECONDITION: APPHOSTING_ADMIN Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service

Anyone any idea?

I am the admin from the GSuite account. I had checked my permission stuff in my account and I don't think there is a place for me to disable me from using GCP.

Sorry to bump an old thread - but I just ran into this and wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out. Google Cloud Project (and Dev Console) were on for everyone but I could not create a project logged in as the Super Admin.

Go to Apps and click on Google Cloud Console. There's a single option 'Allow users to create projects' and for some reason in this company's tenant... It was unchecked. Checked it and project created. Bizarre. Has always been on for other clients apparently.

It seems I had the same or a similar issue- "google cloud platform service has been disabled error". Due to it, I could not create projects.

It seems the trouble was related to my university's email account foo@mail.huji.ac.il. Once I used my gmail account the problem was solved.

This response from Google support resolved the issue for us:

To activate this service, please follow the steps: 
1- Access the admin console and go to Apps -> Additional Google Services 
2- Look for the service “Google Cloud Platform” and click on the box next to it 
3- In to top right corner click in “ON” 
4- Confirm you want to turn it on in the pop-up box.
