in my case I was getting the following:

> firebase deploy


Error: Authorization failed. This account is missing the following required permissions on project deploy:

  firebase.projects.get
  firebasehosting.sites.update
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! n00001@0.0.0 deploy: `firebase deploy`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the n00001@0.0.0 deploy script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/beeeep/.npm/_logs/2099-98-95T09_97_94_392Z-debug.log

Looks like this was the reason: I had deployed it once, then removed the .firebaserc file before pushing it to github. Then tried again to deploy.

Resolved it by doing a firebase use --add and selecting the desired firebase project. Which created the .firebaserc file again. Guess the error message is misleading here.
