'Error when creating the firebase project using terraform

I am trying to create a create a firebase project using terraform. I am new in it and need some guidance in setting up the firebase project. I am facing an issue

Error creating Project: googleapi: Error 403: Your application has authenticated using end user credentials from the Google Cloud SDK or Google Cloud Shell which are not supported by the firebase.googleapis.com. We recommend configuring the billing/quota_project setting in gcloud or using a service account through the auth/impersonate_service_account setting. For more information about service accounts and how to use them in your application, see https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/.

terraform code

resource "google_project" "test-project" {
  provider = google-beta

  project_id = "test-project"
  name       = "Test Project"
}

resource "google_firebase_project" "test-project" {
  provider = google-beta
  project  = google_project.test-project.project_id
}

provider "google" {
  project = "test-project"
  region  = var.region
}
node.jsfirebasegoogle-cloud-platformterraformterraform-provider-gcp

Creating the service account in the Terraform admin project, e. g.

gcloud iam service-accounts create terraform \
  --display-name "Terraform admin account"

gcloud iam service-accounts keys create ${TF_CREDS} \
  --iam-account terraform@${TF_ADMIN}.iam.gserviceaccount.com

and granting permissions to this service account should solve it. An example of providing permissions from the documentation:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${TF_ADMIN} \
  --member serviceAccount:terraform@${TF_ADMIN}.iam.gserviceaccount.com \
  --role roles/viewer

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${TF_ADMIN} \
  --member serviceAccount:terraform@${TF_ADMIN}.iam.gserviceaccount.com \
  --role roles/storage.admin

You can follow the instructions about creating Google Cloud projects in Terraform

Projects you create in GCP are the same as you create in Firebase.

I found another solution to create a firebase project with terraform in the firestore documentation:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/automate-database-create#create_a_database_with_terraform

To provision a Cloud Firestore database with Terraform, use the google_app_engine_application resource. Set the database_type to CLOUD_FIRESTORE or CLOUD_DATASTORE_COMPATIBILITY.

For example, the following Terraform configuration file creates a new project and provisions a Cloud Firestore database:

provider "google" {
  credentials = file("credentials-file")
}

resource "google_project" "my_project" {
  name = "My Project"
  project_id = "project-id"
}

resource "google_app_engine_application" "app" {
  project     = google_project.my_project.project_id
  location_id = "location"
  database_type = "CLOUD_FIRESTORE"
}
