Permissions in Bigtable

Bigtable provides a relatively simple set of IAM permissions when compared to other products in the Google Cloud catalog. In addition to the three primitive IAM roles, Bigtable supports four product-specific roles:

• roles/bigtable.admin: Full administrative access to all Bigtable operations
• roles/bigtable.user: Read-write access to all Bigtable data, without the ability to create new clusters or tables, or scale existing clusters
• roles/bigtable.reader: Read-only access to data in Bigtable tables
• roles/bigtable.viewer: View-only access to cluster configuration without data access
