BigLake IAM roles

BigLake defines several Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles. Each predefined role contains a set of IAM permissions that allow principals to perform certain actions. You can use an IAM policy to give a principal one or more IAM roles.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) also offers the ability to create customized IAM roles. You can create custom IAM roles and assign the role one or more permissions. Then, you can grant the new role to your principals. Use custom roles to create an access control model that maps directly to your needs, alongside the available predefined roles.

This page focuses on the IAM roles relevant to BigLake.

BigLake roles

IAM BigLake roles are a bundle of one or more permissions. You grant roles to principals to allow them to perform actions on the BigLake resources in your project. For example, the BigLake Viewer role contains the biglake.*.get and biglake.*.list permissions, which allow a user to get and list BigLake resources in a project.

The following table lists all BigLake roles and the permissions associated with each role:
