Node.js Google Sheets API: can read but not create spreadsheet - node.js

Question

I have been working all day to try to get a Node.js application connected to my Google Drive to programmatically create spreadsheets using the Google Sheets API.
I think I have set up my connection correctly, because the following code block executes correctly:
/**
* Load or request or authorization to call APIs.
*
*/
async function authorize() {
let client = await loadSavedCredentialsIfExist();
if (client) {
return client;
}
client = await authenticate({
scopes: SCOPES,
keyfilePath: CREDENTIALS_PATH,
});
if (client.credentials) {
await saveCredentials(client);
}
return client;
}
/**
* Prints the names and majors of students in a sample spreadsheet:
* #see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms/edit
* #param {google.auth.OAuth2} auth The authenticated Google OAuth client.
*/
async function listMajors(auth) {
const sheets = google.sheets({ version: 'v4', auth });
const res = await sheets.spreadsheets.values.get({
spreadsheetId: '1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms',
range: 'Class Data!A2:E',
});
const rows = res.data.values;
if (!rows || rows.length === 0) {
console.log('No data found.');
return;
}
console.log('Name, Major:');
rows.forEach((row) => {
// Print columns A and E, which correspond to indices 0 and 4.
console.log(`${row[0]}, ${row[4]}`);
});
}
authorize().then(listMajors).catch(console.error);
As soon as I move from that code to the following code, I get 403 Insufficient Permission errors:
/**
* Create a google spreadsheet
* #param {string} title Spreadsheets title
* #return {string} Created spreadsheets ID
*/
async function create(title) {
const { GoogleAuth } = require('google-auth-library');
const { google } = require('googleapis');
const auth = new GoogleAuth({
scopes: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets',
});
const service = google.sheets({ version: 'v4', auth });
const resource = {
properties: {
title,
},
};
try {
const spreadsheet = await service.spreadsheets.create({
resource,
fields: 'spreadsheetId',
});
console.log(`Spreadsheet ID: ${spreadsheet.data.spreadsheetId}`);
return spreadsheet.data.spreadsheetId;
} catch (err) {
// TODO (developer) - Handle exception
throw err;
}
}
authorize().then(create).catch(console.error);
I have tried this using OAuth2 Client ID, Service Account, and Application Default Credentials. I have enabled all Scopes for my application. I really don't understand what else it wants me to configure to tell it I can have access.
I am attempting to access an application created using my personal Gmail address by logging in using my personal Gmail address. When trying to use a Service Account, I created a new folder in Drive and gave it permissions.
I do not see any additional info in the Create a spreadsheet tutorial.
What other permission is it expecting me to grant and where?

In my case, the application of my scopes took quite a bit longer than I anticipated. Once they were added to my application, the code worked correctly. I would estimate that it took 4-5 hours for the updates to finally show up.
