How to enable delete protection on a Workbench Instance

Given that stop and delete buttons are next to each other it's the second Workbench instance that I mistakenly deleted.
I know that I can enable this feature for VM machines but whenever
I click on instance name -> System -> VM details and then click on  View in Compute Engine and I try to edit enabling the delete protection I got the following error.

 

 

Editing VM instance "MY-INSTANCE" failed. Error: Required 'Current principal doesn't have permission to mutate this resource!' permission for 'MY-INSTANCE'

 

 

We try using different service accounts /users and adding permission without much luck.

I get the very same error when I'm trying to set Keep disk as Deletion rule.
This is very unconvinient. I know I could set snapshots but these simple features would be great
