Error response from daemon: Cannot kill containers, permission denied

[prachi97]

I am unable to kill containers in docker.
Can somebody please help?
It gives me permission denied error.

Have you tried to search for the error message on the forum or on the internet? I just searched on Google and found a topic here on the forum:

Can not stop Docker Container: permission denied Error

Issue: Can not stop docker containers, whenever I try to stop containers I get the following Error message, ERROR: for yattyadocker_web_1 cannot stop container: 1f04148910c5bac38983e6beb3f6da4c8be3f46ceeccdc8d7de0da9d2d76edd8: Cannot kill container 1f04148910c5bac38983e6beb3f6da4c8be3f46ceeccdc8d7de0da9d2d76edd8: rpc error: code = PermissionDenied desc = permission denied OS Version/build: Ubuntu 16.04 | Docker Version 17.09.0-ce, build afdb6d4 | Docker Compose version 1.17.1, build 6d101fb …

It looks like AppArmor can give you error message like this, but on other operating systems it can something else.

I changed the topic title, since we have other topics about killing containers not related to this kind of permission issue.
