Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 32

Your company has a Google Cloud Platform project that uses BigQuery for data warehousing. Your data science team changes frequently and has few members.
You need to allow members of this team to perform queries. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. 1. Create an IAM entry for each data scientist's user account. 2. Assign the BigQuery jobUser role to the group.
• B. 1. Create an IAM entry for each data scientist's user account. 2. Assign the BigQuery dataViewer user role to the group.
• C. 1. Create a dedicated Google group in Cloud Identity. 2. Add each data scientist's user account to the group. 3. Assign the BigQuery jobUser role to the group.
• D. 1. Create a dedicated Google group in Cloud Identity. 2. Add each data scientist's user account to the group. 3. Assign the BigQuery dataViewer user role to the group.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a dedicated Google group in Cloud Identity allows for easier management of user permissions as the team changes. Assigning the BigQuery jobUser role to the group enables members to run queries, which is essential for a data science team, whereas the dataViewer role in options B and D would only allow them to view data without executing queries.
