According to the documentation here, there are two ways to create VM instances for team members:

  • A project owner can create instances for himself or other team members
  • A project editor can create instances for himself (with some limitation)

If you can't get one of those two roles, you'll need to ask a project owner to create a Datalab instance on your behalf. To do this, the project owner will use the datalab create command and pass in an additional --for-user flag specifying your email address.

In order to connect to your instance, you must have at least the following IAM roles:

  • roles/compute.instanceAdmin.v1
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountActor for the service account attached to your Cloud Datalab instance

The role of Editor for a project should have the sufficient rights and permissions to launch and work with a Cloud Datalab instance.

On the customers GCP Account, also be sure to enable:

  • Google Compute Engine API, and
  • Cloud Source Repositories API from the API and Services Library.

Then you can launch a Datalab Instance from the gcloud shell or from the command-line on the local terminal assuming the Google Cloud SDK is installed by running the command: 

datalab create [instance-name]
