If you are using the materials individually (outside of an organised workshop event) then you will need to use your own JASMIN account and a group workspace which you already belong to, rather than the training accounts, and workshop group workspace, respectively. Instead of the workshop LOTUS account and QoS, please use the account of a group workspace you belong to and the debug QoS in this case.
