<h3>Change</h3>
<p>Data Catalog sync users must request <code>roles/metastore.metadataViewer</code> to view synced Dataproc Metastore entries in Data Catalog. The <code>roles/metastore.Admin</code> and <code>roles/metastore.Editor</code> no longer support metastore databases and tables permissions.</p>
<h3>Issue</h3>
<p>Creating a Dataproc Metastore service results in the error <code>NO_MATCHING_ACCESS_LEVEL</code> due to <code>dns.googleapis.com</code> in the service perimeter but not in the allowlist. To work around this issue, remove <code>dns.googleapis.com</code> from the perimeter during API calls.</p>
