Step 3: Ask for the Permissions to Load the VPCs

Scenarios

If your network needs to communicate with the VPCs of other users, you need to ask the other users to grant you the permission to load their VPCs to your cloud connection.

Skip this step if your network plan does not involve communications with other user's VPCs.

A VPC can only be authorized to one account. After the other user grants you the permissions, you can load the VPC to your cloud connection so that your network can communicate with this VPC
