Review and apply role recommendations for BigQuery datasets Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
This page explains how to view, understand, and apply IAM rolerecommendations for BigQuery datasets. Role recommendations helpyou enforce the principle of least privilege by ensuring that principals haveonly the permissions that they actually need.
Before you begin
Enable the IAM and Recommender APIs.
Roles required to enable APIs
To enable APIs, you need the Service Usage Admin IAM role (
roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin), which contains theserviceusage.services.enablepermission.Learn how to grant roles.Ensure that you have an organization-level or project-level activation ofthe Premium or Enterprise tier of Security Command Center. For moreinformation, seeBilling questions.
Understandrole recommendations.
Set up authentication.
Select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page:
gcloud
In the Google Cloud console, activate Cloud Shell.
At the bottom of the Google Cloud console, aCloud Shell session starts and displays a command-line prompt. Cloud Shell is a shell environment with the Google Cloud CLI already installed and with values already set for your current project. It can take a few seconds for the session to initialize.
REST
To use the REST API samples on this page in a local development environment, you use the credentials you provide to the gcloud CLI.
Install the Google Cloud CLI. After installation,initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:
gcloudinit
If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.
For more information, seeAuthenticate for using REST in the Google Cloud authentication documentation.
Required IAM roles
To get the permissions that you need to manage dataset-level role recommendations, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles:
- Role Viewer (
roles/iam.roleViewer) on your project - IAM Recommender Admin (
roles/recommender.iamAdmin) on your project - BigQuery Data Owner (
roles/bigquery.dataOwner) on your dataset
For more information about granting roles, seeManage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
These predefined roles contain the permissions required to manage dataset-level role recommendations. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand theRequired permissions section:
Required permissions
The following permissions are required to manage dataset-level role recommendations:
- To view recommendations:
iam.roles.geton your projectiam.roles.liston your projectrecommender.iamPolicyRecommendations.geton your projectrecommender.iamPolicyRecommendations.liston your projectrecommender.iamPolicyInsights.geton your projectrecommender.iamPolicyInsights.liston your projectbigquery.datasets.getIamPolicyon your dataset
- To apply and dismiss recommendations:
recommender.iamPolicyRecommendations.updateon your projectbigquery.datasets.setIamPolicyon your dataset
You might also be able to get these permissions withcustom roles or otherpredefined roles.
Review and apply recommendations
You can review and apply dataset-level role recommendations with theGoogle Cloud CLI and the Recommender API.
Note: The IAM recommender does not take other forms of accesscontrols into account when making recommendations. If you use access controlsthat are separate from IAM, such as Cloud Storageaccess control lists (ACLs) or Kubernetesrole-based access control (RBAC),ensure that each recommendation will not disrupt those access controls beforeyou apply the recommendation.gcloud
Review your recommendations:
To list your dataset-level recommendations, run thegcloud recommender recommendations listcommand, filtering for only BigQuery dataset recommendations:
gcloudrecommenderrecommendationslist\--location=LOCATION\--recommender=google.iam.policy.Recommender\--project=PROJECT_ID\--format=json\--filter="recommenderSubtype:REMOVE_ROLE_BIGQUERY_DATASET OR recommenderSubtype:REPLACE_ROLE_BIGQUERY_DATASET"Replace the following values:
LOCATION: The region where your Cloud Storagedatasets are located—for example,usorus-central1.PROJECT_ID: The ID of the Google Cloud projectthat contains your BigQuery datasets. Project IDs arealphanumeric strings, likemy-project.
The response is similar to the following example. In this example, all userswith the Editor role on the projectmy-project(projectEditor:my-project) have the BigQuery Data Editor role(roles/bigquery.dataEditor) on the datasetdataset-1.However, this role hasn't been used in the past90 days. As a result, the role recommendation suggests thatyou revoke the role:

Review each recommendation carefully and consider when it was last refreshedand how it will change the principal's access to Google Cloud resources.To learn how to review recommendations from the gcloud CLI, seeReview recommendations on this page.
To apply a recommendation:
Use the
gcloud recommender recommendations mark-claimedcommandto change the recommendation's state toCLAIMED,which prevents therecommendation from changing while you apply it:gcloudrecommenderrecommendationsmark-claimed\RECOMMENDATION_ID\--location=LOCATION\--recommender=google.iam.policy.Recommender\--project=PROJECT_ID\--format=FORMAT\--etag=ETAG\--state-metadata=STATE_METADATAReplace the following values:
RECOMMENDATION_ID: The unique identifier for the recommendation. This value appears at the end of thenamefield in the recommendation. For example, if thenamefield isprojects/example-project/locations/global/recommenders/google.iam.policy.Recommender/recommendations/fb927dc1-9695-4436-0000-f0f285007c0f, the recommendation ID isfb927dc1-9695-4436-0000-f0f285007c0f.LOCATION: The region where your BigQuery dataset is located—for example,usorus-central1.PROJECT_ID: The ID of the Google Cloud project that contains your BigQuery datasets. Project IDs are alphanumeric strings, likemy-project.FORMAT: The format of the response. Usejsonoryaml.ETAG: The value of theetagfield in the recommendation, such as"dd0686e7136a4cbb". Note that this value can include quotes.STATE_METADATA: Optional. Comma-separated key-value pairs that contain your choice of metadata about the recommendation. For example,--state-metadata=reviewedBy=alice,priority=high. The metadata replaces thestateInfo.stateMetadatafield in the recommendation.
If the command succeeds, the response shows the recommendation in a
CLAIMEDstate, as shown in the following example. For clarity, the exampleomits most fields:..."priority":"P1","recommenderSubtype":"REMOVE_ROLE_BIGQUERY_DATASET","stateInfo":{"state":"CLAIMED"}...
Get the allow policy for the dataset, thenmodify and set the allow policy so that it reflects therecommendation.
Update the recommendation's state to

REST
Review your recommendations:
To list all available recommendations for your BigQuery datasets, use the Recommender API'srecommendations.list method.
Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:
PROJECT_ID: The ID of theGoogle Cloud project that contains your BigQuery datasets. Project IDs arealphanumeric strings, likemy-project.LOCATION: The region where yourBigQuery datasets are located—for example,usorus-central1.PAGE_SIZE: Optional. The maximum number of results to return from this request. If not specified, the server will determine the number of results to return. If the number of recommendations is greater than the page size, the response contains a pagination token that you can use to retrieve the next page of results.PAGE_TOKEN: Optional. The pagination token returned in an earlier response from this method. If specified, the list of recommendations will start where the previous request ended.PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud projectID. Project IDs are alphanumeric strings, likemy-project.

Understand recommendations
Each recommendation includes information to help you understand why therecommendation was made.
For details on the fields of a recommendation, see theRecommendation reference.
To see the permission usage that this recommendation is based on, view thepolicy insights that are associated with the recommendation.These insights are listed in theassociatedInsights field. To view a policyinsight that is associated with the recommendation, do the following:
- Copy the associated insight's ID. The ID is everything after
insights/in theinsightfield. For example, if theinsightfield readsprojects/123456789012/locations/us/insightTypes/google.iam.policy.Insight/insights/7849add9-73c0-419e-b169-42b3671173fb,the insight ID is7849add9-73c0-419e-b169-42b3671173fb. - Follow the instructions toget a policy insight, usingthe insight ID you copied.
