How can I change the security setting and enable terminal for a Vertex AI managed notebook?

Question

I created a notebook using Vertex AI without enabling terminal first, but I want to enable terminal now so that I can run a Python file from a terminal. Is there any way I can change the setting retrospectively?

Answer 1

As of now, when you create a Notebook instance with unchecked "Enable terminal" like the below screenshot, you cannot re-enable this option once the Notebook instance is already created .

The only workaround is to recreate the Notebook instance and then enable it.

Right now, there is already a Feature Request for this. You can star the public issue tracker feature request and add 'Me too' in the thread. This will bring more attention to the request as more users request support for it.
