Dataplex Universal Catalog IAM roles

Identity and access management (IAM) lets you control who can do what within Dataplex Universal Catalog. You can adopt the security principle of least privilege, to protect private data, avoid unauthorized access, reduce the attack surface, or meet regulatory compliance.

Dataplex Universal Catalog provides several predefined IAM roles, each with a specific set of permissions that let users perform actions. You can grant these roles using an IAM policy.

For more granular control, you can create a custom IAM role by choosing specific permissions and assigning that new role to users. Custom roles let you build an access model that matches your organization's needs.

This document describes the predefined and custom IAM roles that are relevant to Dataplex Universal Catalog.

For a detailed description of IAM and its features, see the IAM documentation.

If you're using Data Catalog, then the Data Catalog entry access grants aren't carried over to the Dataplex Universal Catalog entries automatically. You must explicitly grant access to the Dataplex Universal Catalog entries before using them.

About Dataplex Universal Catalog roles

Dataplex Universal Catalog IAM roles are a bundle of one or more permissions. You grant roles to principals to let them perform actions on the Dataplex Universal Catalog resources in your project. For example, the Dataplex Viewer role contains the dataplex.*.get and dataplex.*.list permissions, which let users get and list Dataplex Universal Catalog resources in a project. For more information, see Dataplex Universal Catalog permissions.

You can apply Dataplex Universal Catalog roles to any resources in the service hierarchy, including the following:

• Projects
• Lakes, data zones, and assets
• Data scans, tasks, and environments
• Entry groups, entry types, aspect types, and glossaries
• Data taxonomies, data attributes, and data attribute bindings

Predefined roles for Dataplex Universal Catalog

Predefined roles contain the permissions that are needed to perform a task or a group of related tasks.

The following roles provide broad access to Dataplex Universal Catalog resources:

Role	Description
Dataplex Administrator (roles/dataplex.admin)	Full access to Dataplex Universal Catalog resources.
Dataplex Editor (roles/dataplex.editor)	Edit access to Dataplex Universal Catalog resources.
Dataplex Viewer (roles/dataplex.viewer)	Read-only access to Dataplex Universal Catalog resources.
Dataplex Developer (roles/dataplex.developer)	Lets you run data analytics workloads.

Dataplex Entry and EntryLink Owner role

The Dataplex Entry and EntryLink Owner (roles/dataplex.entryOwner) role includes the following features:

• Grants full access to entry-related operations.
• Grants permissions to add aspects of some of the system aspect types, such as Schema, Generic, Overview, and Contacts.
• Grants permissions to create entries of the GenericEntry type.
• This role lets you create an entry with an entry type and aspect type, where the entry type and aspect type are defined in the same project as the entry. Otherwise, you must also grant the Dataplex Entry Type User (roles/dataplex.entryTypeUser) and Dataplex Aspect Type User (roles/dataplex.aspectTypeUser) roles on the projects where the entry and aspect types are defined.
• This role doesn't grant permissions to read entries that are created from Google Cloud resources outside of Dataplex Universal Catalog, such as BigQuery entries, when using the LookupEntry or the SearchEntries methods. To read these entries, you must have permissions on the source system resources. Alternatively, you can read the entries with only the Dataplex Entry and EntryLink Owner (roles/dataplex.entryOwner) role by using the GetEntry method.

Role considerations

• No role grants permissions to add or delete Dataplex Universal Catalog entries from system-defined entry groups, such as @bigquery and @dataplex.

• To view data aspects attached to an entry, you need permissions to read data from the source asset that the entry represents, in addition to permissions to view the entry. If you have permission to view an entry but lack data-read permissions for the source asset, you can still view all other metadata on the entry. However, Dataplex Universal Catalog hides the content of any attached data aspects.

• The Dataplex Catalog Admin (roles/dataplex.catalogAdmin) and Dataplex Catalog Editor (roles/dataplex.catalogEditor) roles grant permissions to view custom entries.

• To search for entries using the SearchEntries method, you must have at least one of the following IAM roles on the project used in the API request: Dataplex Catalog Admin (roles/dataplex.catalogAdmin), Dataplex Catalog Editor (roles/dataplex.catalogEditor), or Dataplex Catalog Viewer (roles/dataplex.catalogViewer). Permissions on search results are checked independently of the selected project.

Predefined roles for data lineage

To access the lineage for any Dataplex Universal Catalog entry, you need a viewer role on the corresponding system resource or the Dataplex Catalog Viewer role (roles/dataplex.catalogViewer) on the project that stores the Dataplex Universal Catalog entry. This section describes the roles required to work with lineage.

Data Lineage Administrator role

The Data Lineage Administrator role (roles/datalineage.admin) grants full control over all Dataplex Universal Catalog lineage resources.

Data Lineage Editor role

The Data Lineage Editor role (roles/datalineage.editor) grants permissions to create, update, and delete Dataplex Universal Catalog lineage resources.

Data Lineage Events Producer role

The Data Lineage Events Producer role (roles/datalineage.eventsProducer) grants permissions to create, update, and delete lineage events. This role is intended for services that generate lineage events, such as BigQuery.

Lineage viewer role

The Data Lineage Viewer role (roles/datalineage.viewer) lets you view Dataplex Universal Catalog lineage in the Google Cloud console and read lineage information using the Data Lineage API. The runs and events for a given process are all stored in the same project as the process. In the case of automated lineage, the process, runs, and events are stored in the project in which the job that generated the lineage was running. For example, this could be the project in which a BigQuery job was running.

To view lineage between assets, you need the Data Lineage Viewer role (roles/datalineage.viewer) on both the project in which you're viewing lineage and the projects in which lineage is recorded. Specifically, you need the role on the following projects:

• The project in which you're viewing lineage (known as active project), that is, the project in the drop-down at the top of the Google Cloud console or the project from which API calls are made. This is typically the project containing the resources you create in Dataplex Universal Catalog or access in other Google Cloud systems with the API.
• The projects in which lineage is recorded (known as compute project). Lineage is stored in the project where the corresponding process executed, as described earlier. This project can be different from the project storing the asset that you're viewing lineage for.

To view asset metadata, you need the same roles used for accessing metadata entries in Dataplex Universal Catalog.

Depending on the use case, grant the Data Lineage Viewer role (roles/datalineage.viewer) on the folder or organization level to ensure access to the lineage (see Grant or revoke a single role).

Note: To see the SQL statement for a BigQuery process, you must have the bigquery.jobs.get permission for the corresponding job. To see the SQL statement for a BigQuery view definition, you must have the bigquery.tables.get permission for the corresponding view.

Roles to view asset metadata when viewing lineage

To view metadata about an asset stored in Dataplex Universal Catalog, you must have a viewer role on the corresponding system resource or the Dataplex Catalog Viewer role (roles/dataplex.catalogViewer) on the project storing the Dataplex Universal Catalog entry. You might have access to assets on the lineage graph or list through appropriate viewer roles but no access to the lineage between them. This occurs if you don't have the Data Lineage Viewer role (roles/datalineage.viewer) on the project where the lineage was recorded. In this case, the Data Lineage API and Google Cloud console don't show the lineage or return an error. This prevents leaking information about the existence of lineage. Therefore, the absence of lineage for an asset doesn't mean that no lineage exists, but rather that you might not have permissions to view it.

Note: If an asset is located in an organization that you're not a member of, data lineage might not be able to retrieve the metadata for that asset.

Metadata roles

Metadata roles grant permissions to view and update metadata, such as table schemas.

Role	Description
Dataplex Metadata Writer (roles/dataplex.metadataWriter)	Lets you update a resource's metadata.
Dataplex Metadata Reader (roles/dataplex.metadataReader)	Lets you read metadata, for example, to query a table.

Note: The Dataplex Metadata Reader (roles/dataplex.metadataReader) role grants permissions to read-only metadata. The Dataplex Data Reader (roles/dataplex.dataReader) role, described in the Data roles section, includes all the permissions of roles/dataplex.metadataReader plus permissions to read the actual data.

Data roles

Dataplex Universal Catalog defines the following IAM roles that apply to any resource managed by Dataplex Universal Catalog. For more information about the permissions associated with each role, see the Predefined roles section of this document.

Role	Description
Dataplex Data Owner (roles/dataplex.dataOwner)	Full access to the managed resource and its children. Permissions include updating metadata, creating child resources, and granting granular permissions.
Dataplex Data Reader (roles/dataplex.dataReader)	Read access to data and metadata in the managed resource and its children.
Dataplex Data Writer (roles/dataplex.dataWriter)	Write access to data in the managed resource. This includes creating, updating, and deleting data, but not metadata.
