Google Big Query : How to get the authorization to change the authorizations on Data Sets

Question

I would like to add a member ([email protected]) in the list of members that are allowed to read the tables in a data set.

However, when in the Big Query console, when I click on SHARE DATASET , I have the message : **"You don't have permission to edit the permissions of the selected resource "****

However, I have the permission to use the query editor and to run queries on this Data Set. How can I add a member to the list of members who can read this DATA SET so that to access to this Data Set through a Virtual Machine ?

Answer 1

The error message you are receiving is because you do not have the required permissions associated with your account to share a Dataset with another member.

In order to do this, you(if possible), or an admin of the project, i.e., someone with project editor or project owner role assigned. Will need to assign the needed permissions to allow you to share datasets.

You can see all the available permissions in this document Predefined roles and permissions

For a comprehensive document dealing with controlling access to Datasets review this document Controlling access to datasets

As long as you have the appropriate roles/permissions you should have no problems sharing BigQuery Datasets
