BigQueryIO need underlying "bigquery.tables.get permission" access to query a view

[wli600]

I am running a BigQueryIO like

BigQueryIO.Read.usingStandardSql().fromQuery("SELECT * FROM foo-bar-123456.category_view.markets LIMIT 1000")

but seeing this error, "The user [email protected] does not have bigquery.tables.get permission for table foo-bar-123456.category.markets"

which category is the base table for view category_view. And with perm opened for user [email protected] to the underlying table, this query works.

Also, without opening up the perm, when I run on console with the same query against the view, it works too

Can you help to take a look what might be the issue or maybe an usage error?

Thanks

PS. for the SDK version, I am running with the latest commit as of March 1,

@ThatRfernand could you please take a look?

Hi wli600,

I believe you need to give this user ([email protected]) the right IAM permissions to interact with BigQuery. There is more information in https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/access-control.

You can set the permissions via IAM in Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam/iam-zero. There is more information about IAM in https://cloud.google.com/iam/ .

Hope that helps!

Thanks @ThatRfernand for looking at it,

The issue here is that this user does have perm to access the view, as I can use the user's account to query the view from console.

But running with the BigQuery against the view shows error message saying the account is lack of perm to access the table itself, but not the view, which is strange.

Further clarification: the view has been granted auth view access. So user has access to view, and view has access to underlying table. Query works fine via UI. Query fails via dataflow because it seems to be directly executing some metadata query directly against the underlying table.

We're investigating this internally -- the key issue right now is a mismatch between what the BigQuery UI does and what Dataflow does. The BigQuery UI can get information via internal side channels that Dataflow cannot (since we only call public BigQuery APIs).

Will keep you updated.

Any news on this @dhalperi?

bigquery.table.get enables the reading of table/view metadata - what table/view metadata does Dataflow need to read?

[criccomini]

Yea, this is really annoying.

Can you try using the withQueryLocation() property: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/BigQueryIO.java#L967

Currently we need extra permissions to determine the location of the query but if you set the above, extra permissions should not be required.

Note that .withQueryLocation() was added to Apache Beam last April, so be sure to use Beam 2.5.0 or above.

I had the same issue and solved adding these permissions to the service account used by the compute engine that runs the dataflow job
