How to Add a User to BigQuery

To add a user to Google BigQuery, their account must be granted the appropriate permissions in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

To grant an account access to your BigQuery instance, follow these instructions:

1. Log in to Google Cloud Console at https://console.cloud.google.com/,

2. Select your project at the top of the page next to the Google Cloud Platform logo. Make sure you're working in the correct GCP project.



3. Open the navigation menu in the top left corner. Go to IAM & Admin > IAM.





4. Go to the Permissions tab. Add a member by scrolling to View by Principals and clicking on + Grant Access.



5. Enter the new user's email address and select a role for them. These can include:
  1. BigQuery Data Viewer: Can view datasets and tables but cannot run queries.
  2. BigQuery Data Editor: Can view and edit datasets and tables, and can run queries.
  3. BigQuery User: Can run jobs including queries, but does not have permission to view the data.
  4. BigQuery Admin: Full control over BigQuery resources.




6. After choosing a role, click Save.
