BigQuery

Prerequisites

You’ll need to have a Google Cloud Platform account with a project you would like Dot to use. Consult the Google Cloud Platform documentation for how to create and manage a project. This project should have a BigQuery dataset for Dot to connect to.

1 Create a service account

Create a service account that you manage in your Google Cloud account. This account should be provisioned with the following read-only roles:

• bigquery.dataViewer

• bigquery.jobUser

• bigquery.readSessionUser

You'll need to provide the service account's email, a JSON-formatted key, and the location of your BigQuery instance.

2 Granting permissions

The service account also needs the appropriate read-only roles.

The easiest way to grant these roles is through the Google Cloud Shell.

First, we'll create a custom role for Dot-related permissions and then bind it to the service account that you're using. We'll also bind read-only BigQuery roles to the service account.

A) Create a Dot custom role

gcloud iam roles create DotMonitor \
  --project={{PROJECT_ID}} \
  --title=DotMonitor \
  --description="Dot specific permissions" \
  --permissions=bigquery.jobs.listAll,bigquery.jobs.list

Note that the {{PROJECT_ID}} placeholder needs to be replaced with your project id.

B) Bind the custom role to a service account and apply read-only BQ roles

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {{PROJECT_ID}} \
  --member="serviceAccount:{{SERVICE_ACCOUNT}}" \
  --role="projects/{{PROJECT_ID}}/roles/DotMonitor"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {{PROJECT_ID}} \
  --member="serviceAccount:{{SERVICE_ACCOUNT}}" \
  --role="roles/bigquery.dataViewer"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {{PROJECT_ID}} \
  --member="serviceAccount:{{SERVICE_ACCOUNT}}" \
  --role="roles/bigquery.jobUser"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {{PROJECT_ID}} \
  --member="serviceAccount:{{SERVICE_ACCOUNT}}" \
  --role="roles/bigquery.readSessionUser"

Note that the {{SERVICE_ACCOUNT}} and {{PROJECT_ID}} placeholders needs to be replaced with your service account and project id, respectively.

Example Values

• PROJECT_ID: super-position-123456

• SERVICE_ACCOUNT: [e-mail]

Allow Dot IPs

If your organization uses a network policy to manage BigQuery access, Dot will only access your BigQuery through the following IPs:

• 3.229.110.216

• 3.122.135.165
