Creating groups fials with "Error: POST https://gitlab.com/api/v4/groups: 403 {message: 403 Forbidden}"

Bug Report

I have the following code

resource "gitlab_group" "infrastructure-modules" {
  name                               = "infrastructure-modules"
  description                        = "Public shared modules for infrastructure (terraform modules, ansible roles, ...)"
  ...
}

While plan is ok, the apply fails with

Error: POST https://gitlab.com/api/v4/groups: 403 {message: 403 Forbidden}
with module.gitlab.gitlab_group.infrastructure-modules
on gitlab/infrastructure-modules.tf line 1, in resource "gitlab_group" "infrastructure-modules":

resource "gitlab_group" "infrastructure-modules" {

The run happens via terraform cloud and the used token has the following permissions and is still valid:

• api, read_api, read_user, self_rotate, read_repository, write_repository, read_registry, write_registry
• used: 3 minutes ago
• expires: in 9 months
