# Create a provider network

> Provision a provider network with the scoping credential so the create wizard can offer an inline create-network flow. GKE creates an auto subnet-mode VPC (a subnetwork in every region, like the GCP default network) and waits for the compute operation to finish; other providers answer 400. The GCP service account needs the compute.networks.create permission (for example via the Compute Network Admin role, roles/compute.networkAdmin); a credential without it answers 400 with the provider's permission message. The response is the created network in the options catalog's private_networks shape.
