Prepare credentials and permission in Google Cloud console

Certain credentials and permission are required for Validio to validate your data.

📘

For detailed information about permissions in BigQuery, refer to Introduction to IAM.

Create a service account and assign roles

  1. Create a new service account for Validio in the project which contains the data you want to monitor. Alternatively, you can use an existing service account.
  2. Assign the following roles to the service account:
    1. BigQuery Data Viewer - We use this to read data and metadata.
    2. BigQuery Job User - We use this to query data.
    3. BigQuery Resource Viewer - We use this for various functionality and optimizations, for example, by reading query history.
  3. Ensure Cloud Resource Manager API is enabled on the project. For more information, refer to API Console Help.
  4. If you want to monitor more projects:
    1. Grant the Validio service account access to each project, by specifying the Service account ID In the project's IAM-settings.
    2. Repeat step 2 and 3 for each project.
