Hello Mentors and DLAI Team,
I am facing an AWS permission issue while launching Lab 1 (Generative AI Use Case: Summarize Dialogue) .
Error message:
AccessDeniedException: User is not authorized to perform: datazone:ListDomains
AWS Role:
arn:aws:sts::406544386626:assumed-role/voclabs/user4670611
Region:
us-east-1 (N. Virginia)
Lab Platform:
Vocareum (launched from Coursera)
Browser & OS:
Google Chrome, Windows 10
Steps already tried:
It appears that the Vocareum IAM role does not have permission to access AWS DataZone , which the lab is attempting to use.
Could you please update the lab IAM policy or advise on the correct workaround?
Thank you for your support.

Likely this is related to the general problem with AWS permissions.
Please follow this thread for updates:
Hello Data Engineering Learners,
We are currently experiencing a service disruption with our external cloud infrastructure providers. Unfortunately, this issue is impacting the majority of our lab environments, and we are aware that almost all labs are currently not working.
Please be patient as we monitor the situation and work closely with our providers to restore full functionality as quickly as possible.
Current Lab Status:
While most labs are down, the following are confirmed to be workβ¦

I still get AccessDeniedException for datazone:ListDomains on account 406544386626 using role assumed-role/voclabs/user4670611=Neaz_Ahsan_Chowdhury. I ended/restarted lab and tried incognito, still failing. Please update VocLabs IAM policy to allow DataZone actions for this lab.
I hope you are following the lab steps correctly, which step are you stuck at?
