Compute Nest:Create a managed O&M service

Create a private service for which the hosted O&M feature is enabled

If you are a customer of a private service for which the hosted O&M feature is enabled, you must authorize the service provider to perform O&M operations on the resources deployed in a service instance when you create the service instance based on the private service. For more information, see Create a private service. In the O&M section, select Obtain Permissions, and then select the permissions to be granted to the service provider from the drop-down list.
