User602170-Oracle

Trying to start the lab. 1st step is to create the SSH keys. For doing that I need to open the Cloud Shell so I select the workshop compartment and click on the Cloud Shell button.

The issue is that I cannot open the Cloud shell due to this reason:

"You are not authorized to access Cloud Shell. The tenancy admin must add a policy to grant your access."

I guess all grants should be already applied in order to start asap with the lab.

How I can get this grant?

Could you please help?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am not sure we tried the same lab but I got the same error when using "Get Started with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Core Services Workshop" with option "Reserve Workshop on LiveLabs".

Is anybody aware of any problem regarding this workshop?

Thank you for your help :-)

Hey try adding this command in your oci-admin-group policy by logging into your root

Allow group <group-name> to use cloud-shell in tenancy

Hello everyone, I am also new employee of Oracle,

1) You need to go in the hamburger menu on the top-left corner and pick a "Identy & Security"

2) Find on the screen Policies and go in

3) On the left side from drop-down menu chose your root compartment "IMPORTANT"

4) Then click "create policy"

5) Write your name and description like you want

6) Chose from drop-down list root Compartment , it's very important .

7)check manual editor and type command inside "Allow group <group-name> to use cloud-shell in tenancy"

Note: If you don't remember you can come back and check it your group Name , and paste inside " < >"

Hello, I'm having the same problem, even when I create the policy, doesn't allow me to use cloud-shell, I can use all the other resources but not the cloud-shell some one know how to solve this.

Hello. I faced up the same problem, and I found the solution.

My Scenario

• user: test_user
• group: test_group
• compartment: test_compartment

The test_user is member of test_group and MANAGE resources in test_compartment. Problem: test_user cannot use cloud-shell.

Solution

First connect as administrator to OCI. Administrators group can also do anything in any of the compartments in the tenancy.

Create policy in root compartment: allow group test_group to use cloud-shell in tenancy

By the concept of policy inheritance test_compartment will inherit policy from root compartment. In other words user test_user will get permission to use cloud-shell from parent compartment.

I hope you will find this useful.
