As of Thursday, June 17th, 2021 at 11:00am EDT, users of community clusters may experience intermittent "permission denied" errors while trying to access their files on Data Depot. Errors may come and go, and may appear on both login and compute nodes.

System engineers are actively engaged with the vendor to troubleshoot and fix the glitch. We appreciate your patience and will provide another update by 9pm.
