Cannot launch SSH console

Keywords: LAMP/MAMP/WAMP - Google Cloud Platform - Technical issue - Connectivity (SSH/FTP)
Description:
I wasn't on my Bitnami GLP dashboard some time (maybe two months) and now I need to install one module on server (with modules) and I cannot launch SSH console (form Bitnami Launchpad for GLP).

I can do that (launch SSH console) for servers under my email and not for associated email, despite how it worked when I created credentials and it is listed in order on BL for GLP under My Projects (Cloud Credentials).

I have message:

"You do not have sufficient permissions to SSH into this instance. You need one of compute.instances.setMetadata, compute.projects.setCommonInstanceMetadata or compute.instances.osLogin (with OsLogin enabled) and iam.serviceAccounts.actAs."

What it mean?

P.S. - So confusing part is that I created and launched servers and modules and didn't touch anything. In meantime ....

Hi @servicioexpreso,
I am not sure about the error but I found a similar issue that seems to be resolved. Do you have OS login enabled? It seems that enabling OS login disables the ssh configuration.
Can you check the following link to see if it helps you?

Hi @miguelaeh,

BINGO, yeah, that is exactly, but I'm now confused.

1) I enabled that BEFORE I installed server. So, why now?

2) Is it mean how I cannot anymore handling client sites (or is it other way to do t?)?

HI @servicioexpreso,

It should be possible to disable the OS login now.
You can check the Enabling or disabling OS Login official docs here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/managing-instance-access#enable_oslogin

Hi @miguelaeh,

I'm not sure that I understand anything anymore. I opened tab and connected on Google as client. Obviously, SSH started to work. Tonight I again tried to do same, but logged on Google as me and it works. It looks how it works because of cookies, but not sure. No time now tor experiment. However. thanks for right direction pointing as I at least know what about it is. Closed (solved).
