Cloud Datalab permissions - 403 on VM URL when sharing access


I've successfully created & hosted a Cloud Datalab VM. I can access the VM's URL from my account (Project Owner) but my collaborators can't access the *.blogspot.com URL (HTTP 403) unless I give them "Project Owner" permission.

How do I properly share access to the Jupyter server (Cloud Datalab VM) with my team ?


Solution

  • I am assuming you are referring to appspot.com URL for the App Engine Flex VM(formerly Managed VM) - such as main-dot-datalab-dot-.appspot.com

    The version you have requires minimum editor permissions in the project because a Datalab user can perform tasks beyond those scoped for reader permission. They should not require owner permission.

    Separately, we released a beta refresh yesterday so I would urge you to upgrade soon as it fixes issues as well as adds features. See https://cloud.google.com/datalab/docs/quickstarts/ to get started with the refresh.

    Thanks. Dinesh Kulkarni (Product Manager, Datalab)
