Granting access to IBM Blockchain 2.0 - ibm-cloud

trying to grant access to an IBM Blockchain 2.0 instance to another user. The access policies look like:
But the user gets this error message:
What am I missing? Something obvious?
Thanks,
Andy

You only need to add their IBM Cloud ID to your users list in the 2.0 Platform UI, assigning access policies is not necessary.
Update: IBP 2.0 access is now managed by IAM. Follow the guides for granting appropriate permissions to access the Console

AWS OpenSearch Goggle Workspace SAML authentications

I have configured a custom SAML app in Google Workspace and configured AWS Opensearch to use SP-initiated SSO.
I am able to access OpenSearch via the URL but I get the following error
Missing Role
No roles available for this user, please contact your system administrator.
I guess there are some SAML attribute mapping and group set up that are required. I've created an opensearch group in Google for users that I wish to have access.
I think the following AWS Opensearch parameters require a value
SAML master backend role
Subject key
Roles key
From what I can see, the issue is that you need to create a custom attribute inside the Admin console of Google Workspace with the "roles" for AWS Opensearch.
You can also read this information in the AWS documentation.
This was resolved using and IdP initiated authentication flow instead. The links posted in answers above helped us implement this.

API for creating Service credentials in IBM COS

I am using IBM COS for various bucket operations. While I could find various ways of programmatically performing various bucket operations, I was wondering if there are any ways of programmatically(any sdk or rest apis) creating Service credentials as well as editing the policy for a service id?
Yes, there are APIs available to access and manage Cloud IAM
Go to the following API docs to review the available APIs:
IAM Identity Services API
IAM Access Groups API
IAM Policy Management API

NodeRED bluemix/IBM Cloud starter installation fails with IAM error

The installation of the NodeRED bluemix/IBM Cloud starter application fails with an IAM error message complaining about insufficient rights:
FAILED
Server error, status code: 502, error code: 10001, message: Service broker error: You do not have the required permission to create an instance. You must be assigned the IAM Editor role or higher. Contact the account owner to update your access.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
Looks like you don’t have proper IAM access permission. If you are the owner of the account, you can set the required permissions following the steps in this link .If you are not the owner ask the account owner for the permissions.
For best practices, refer this solution tutorial
The issue was actually related to the fact that the bluemix starter application tries to create a lite plan instance of cloudant. In my case, that was not possible because there already was such an instance and you are allowed only one per CF organization.
The solution was to patch the pipeline.yml to create a standard plan instance:
cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB Standard "${CLOUDANT_NAME}"

Unable to create Kubernetes Cluster on IBM Bluemix

I have been trying to create a Kubernetes Cluster with my Bluemix account owner but always getting the following error upon creation:
IBM Cloud Infrastructure exception: Your account is currently prohibited from order 'Computing Instances'.
Any idea what the issue is? There seems to be no direct way to getting support from Public Bluemix to address this issue. We opened a ticket but it has not been addressed.
You should contact IBM Bluemix Support for this kind of question. Before you login to the Bluemix Console, there is a Support link.
From the look of the exception. It seen like you are trying to create a "second" kubernetes cluster. If this is what you are trying to do, you will need a SoftLayer account; or your ID in your SoftLayer account is not setup properly.
You need admin rights to create clusters in Bluemix. Just makes sure that you get the admin status and it should work for you. The normal permissions granted to you are that of an user. Hope this helps

Call Microsoft Graph API - App only unauthorized error

I am trying to make request to the Graph API using a service with no UI. I downloaded the following sample code and followed the instructions: https://blog.kloud.com.au/2015/12/14/implementing-application-with-o365-graph-api-in-app-only-mode/
I successfully get an Access Token, but when using it to make a request to get organization information (required Read Directory Data access), I get 403 Unauthorized.
I have registered my app in Azure AD (where I am a co-administrator).
I have specified Microsoft Graph in the 'permissions to other applications' section, and given Read Directory Data access.
Interestingly there is a note below saying 'You are authorized to select only delegated permissions which have personal scope'. Even though I clearly did. Why? I suspect this is the source of my problem.
Likewise I have checked my demo app against these instructions: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/authorization/app_only, but it makes no mention of what role in Azure you need to have.
in this SO post's answer, there is mention of still needing to Consent. I haven't found any documentation about this.
You are authorized to select only delegated permissions which have personal scope
This issue is caused that the app is created by none admin and when they visit the portal then will see this message.
To grant the app-only permission to the application, we need to be the administrator of the tenant. It is different with the co-administrator. To user the Client Credential flow, I suggest that you contact the admin of the tenant to create an application for you. And if you were just for testing purpose, you can create a free tenant and register the application yourself.
Update
We need the assign the Global administrator director role as figure below to make the application works for the client credential flow:
