Feature Permissions

Additional permissions may be required to use specific features. Individual users may be required to permit  Dataprep by Trifacta access when the feature is first used. 

Dataflow job cancellation

PermissionProduct Use
dataflow.jobs.cancel

This permission is required to cancel jobs on Dataflow from within the Dataprep by Trifacta application. It is not required for the product to work but may be helpful to add via IAM roles.

NOTE: The ability to cancel a job from within the Dataprep by Trifacta application is temporarily disabled. When it is re-enabled, this permission will be required. You should leave this permission enabled, if possible.


NOTE: A user may be able cancel a job from the Dataprep by Trifacta application, even though the user is not permitted to cancel the job in the running environment. The service account associated with the user's Dataprep by Trifacta account may have the appropriate permissions, but the user's personal account does not. For more information, see Google Service Account Management. 

BigQuery publishing options

The following permissions are required to publish to BigQuery:

PermissionProduct Use
bigquery.datasets.create

Create datasets in BigQuery

NOTE: In some environments, users may not be permitted the bigquery.datasets.create permission, and Dataflow jobs on BigQuery sources fail. As a workaround, an administrator can define a BigQuery dataset for use for these jobs. This dataset is used by Dataprep by Trifacta for storing temporary tables of intermediate query results when running Dataflow jobs on BigQuery sources, which eliminates the need for the bigquery.datasets.create permission in the service account. For more information on defining this BigQuery query dataset, see Dataprep Project Settings Page.

bigquery.datasets.updateUpdate datasets in BigQuery

The following permission is not required to publish to BigQuery.

PermissionProduct Use
bigquery.datasets.delete

If this permission is not granted to a user, that user requires one of the following permissions to drop or truncate table data in BigQuery: 

  • The user is granted editor or owner role on the project.
  • The user is granted bigquery.tables.delete for the project.

NOTE: If a user does not have this permission when publishing to a table, the user receives a warning that the target dataset is read-only.

BigQuery job execution

To enable execution of jobs in BigQuery, the following permission must be enabled. Additional configuration may be required. For more information on this feature, see BigQuery Running Environment.

PermissionProduct Use
bigquery.jobs.createThis permission enables execution of jobs within BigQuery. It is also used for custom SQL queries, which is enabled by default. In most projects, this permission is enabled by default.

BigQuery job execution on  Cloud Storage files

If you have enabled execution of jobs in BigQuery, you can extend that capability to execute jobs for data sources hosted in  Cloud Storage. GCS execution in BigQuery requires that external tables be enabled in BigQuery. The following permissions are required to create and use external tables.

Tip: In most projects, these permissions are enabled by default.

PermissionProduct Use

bigquery.tables.create

Enabled in the default Dataprep by Trifacta role.

bigquery.tables.getData

Enabled in the default Dataprep by Trifacta role.

bigquery.jobs.createRequired for job execution in BigQuery. See previous section.

NOTE: Any change in a user's permissions in Google Cloud Platform must be reflected in the service account assigned to the user.

Run Dataflow jobs

Every  Dataprep by Trifacta job requires the use of a service account through which the job is submitted to Dataflow for execution. Each project user must have access to a service account. For more information, see Google Service Account Management.

Data access

In addition to the IAM roles above, users must also be granted the following to enable data access based on their Cloud IAM:
