usermod -aG docker <user>
chown -R <user>:<user> /wm-data

StudioWorkspace Instance / AppDeployment Instance​

The given ssh user does not have permission to install software Then install below as per the operating system.

  • If the user given to the Platform doesn't have privileged access, then provide below permission for the user given on StudioWorkspace Instance / AppDeployment Instance.
  • Create a user group if not present in StudioWorkspace Instance / AppDeployment Instance .
sudo groupadd <user>
