How do I share a bigquery dataset with another project? - google-bigquery

How do I share a bigquery table/dataset with another project? I do not see an option to share with a specific project.

You can't share a dataset with a project. You can share a dataset with a user, a group, or a view, and you can also make a dataset completely public.
If you'd like to share with the users who have access to another project, the best solution is probably to create a Google group (http://groups.google.com), share your dataset with that group, and add that group to project #2. Then you can use membership in the group to control access to both the dataset and the other project.
Once you've shared data with another project, members of that project will probably want to select "Project menu > Switch to project > Display project..." and enter the ID of the other project in order to display those datasets in the web UI's navigation bar.
And since I mentioned it, if you share with a view, you will give access to any user who can query the view, regardless of whether they can access the underlying data.

Need to create sql view accessible by person but this person cant access the database

I have multi tenant azure sql database. I need to create readonly view to one customer to read some data without able to access any other database tables or views. How i can do that
Please try Azure Data Share to share a view with any person you want without giving access to the database.
Create a Data Share account.
Navigate to your Data Share Overview page.
Select Start sharing your data.
Select Create.
Fill out the details for your Data Share. Specify a name, description of share contents, and terms of use (optional).
Select Continue
To add Datasets to your Data Share, select Add Datasets.
Select the dataset type that you would like to add.
Specify the view you want to share with.
In the Recipients tab, enter in the email addresses of your Data Consumer by selecting '+ Add Recipient'.
Select Continue.
Set off "Snapshot schedule".
In the Review + Create tab, review your Package Contents, Settings, Recipients, and Synchronization Settings. Select Create.
Alberto Morillo provided a good way for you.
But from the Azure Data Share Documentation, Data share only can help share the view data to the customer, can not receive the request from customer, it's unidirectional.
According your comment, customer want to access the view from other application through call or API,
The answer is no, we can not do that for now without the permission for login or access the database.
Hope this helps.

SESSION_USER equivalent from Big Query in Data Studio reports

We are creating dashboards for clients using data studio.
Each client should see their data in the dashboard, based on their login credentials. It is simple to create an authorized_view in Big Query to let certain users see certain rows of an underlying shared table. But how would one achieve to then move this into a dashboard which can be shared with each client, yet show only the individuals client in the dashboard instead of the data that was visible to the report creator?
So let's say we have a large table with a bunch of columns and one column email which contains the email of users. Now, we want the dashboard to show metrics for each user based on this email column.
On DataStudio in the datasource schema review step, make sure the flag USING VIEWER’S CREDENTIALS is on. By turning it on, the query when being executed will use the viewer’s credential instead of the owner who created the report.
After you finish create proper visualization on Data Studio, final step is to share the report to eg: store managers using the share option of Data Studio which is similar to share a Google Docs. You can confidently share it with the whole organization or with the email group of eg: store managers, permission already be controlled at data level.

Join BigQuery tables in different projects using Service Accounts

I have service accounts per BigQuery project. I need to put joins on tables in different projects using service accounts configured on each project.
Here is what i have:
Service_EmailAccount1 -> project1
Service_EmailAccount2 -> project2
I can connect to tables using these service accounts in respective projects but when I try to join data on different tables which are in different projects, I get access errors.
Reason is when i build the BigQuery service , I am using a JSON file which is specific to project as it contains the project id.
How can I join tables in different projects using service accounts?
Assuming you run your query by Service_EmailAccount1
In this case you should just share your respective dataset in project2 with Service_EmailAccount1
And you must make sure both datasets are in the same location
That's all you need
See more about Access Control concept in BigQuery
I believe that the following idea might be helpful, for example, you are using service_emailaccount1 to get access of project1,
go to bigquery, click the project name, then choose -> switch project -> manage projects, you will go to IAm & Admin page
choose project1 and then you will see the permission page for the project.
add service_emalaccount2 to be a viewer/editor to this project1(if account1 is the owner)
Then, I believe that both accounts will access project1.
This is what I will do to get access to several projects, and I am not sure we can use different service account to querying from different project in one query. Thx

BigQuery - Grant Access to Other Google Cloud Platform Projects

I'm trying to setup customer access to some of my BigQuery data. I'll start off with my requirements, then what I think the solution needs to be, though I'm not sure how to execute.
Requirements
Separate billing per customer for queries
I don't want to make my dataset public
Read only access to specific datasets
Accessible via Excel connector
No access rights to my main project
They manage their own access privileges, I don't want to have to add and remove individual users from direct dataset access on behalf of all our clients.
Nice to have - Web UI access
What I've Done
Created a new Google Developer Project
Added a view-only user on that project
Added a service account
Granted access to my BigQuery dataset to the service account
Here are the options for granting dataset access from the documentation:
I imagine that I need to setup some sort of special group, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks in advance!
In BigQuery there are two different concepts:
The first one is billing (for queries and any other billable
activity) that is linked with a Google Cloud Project.
The second one is access to a dataset.
Having said that, to fulfil your requirements you'd create a separate project for each of the customers, and grant access to the datasets in the granularity that you would want.
That way you would have the costs for each of the projects separated but billed to you. Be careful to give them only read access to the project, unless you want them to be able to create other services like VM or deploy GAE apps, as they'd be billed to you as well.
For example dataset [MyDatasetA] to users X and Y in projects Project1 and Project2, but access to [MyDatasetB] to users Y and Z in projects Project2 and Project3.
Thus, each project is accountable for the queries their users run, and you have your access control on each dataset without it being public.
Separate billing per customer for queries. Done with the independent projects.
I don't want to make my dataset public. Done with fine grained control access.
Read only access to specific datasets. Same as above.
Accessible via Excel connector. It should work without problems as they'd be first class BQ users.
No access rights to my main project. Again possible if they are restricted to their own projects.
They manage their own access privileges. This is trickier. I think they'd need more than read access to the datasets or more than read access to the projects to be able to add new users, if you use the project groups as access control.
Nice to have - Web UI access. Check out https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/
The project groups are groups that allow to select members with Viewer, Developer or Owner roles in one click, without the hassle of adding each member manually.
You get already three groups set-up for you to use: Viewers, Editors and Owners of the original project.
But you may create your own Google Groups and give those groups the permission you want.
The hint when doing so, is that new users will usually need to Display your project so that it appears in the BQ online browser. This is done by clicking on the arrow to the side of the project name in the BQ online browser followed by Switch to project then Display project with the project name that the Dataset belongs to.
Edit: Improved the explanation about Group access

Rally custom report visibility

I have created a custom report and it shows up on my "Reports" tab. How can I make this public to everyone in the project so that they can see it in their workspace?
There isn't a way to share it with only a subset of users. What we often do for custom apps that are only useful for a small subset of users is have the admin share it, then have the subset of users copy it and then have the admin un-share it. Note, we resort to this solution to save the limited number of shared dashboards we have to apps and reports that are relevant to all teams. The problem with this solution is it makes it challenging to upgrade the app with new features. Nonetheless, I thought I would mention as an option if you are limited to the number of shared dashboards.
In order to share the app with other users you need workspace or subscription admin privileges.
