Question 2
A group of data scientists need access to data stored in Cloud Bigtable. You want to follow Google recommended best practices for security. What role would you assign to the data scientist to allow them to read data from Bigtable?

Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The role/bigtable.reader gives the data scientist the ability to read data but not write data or modify the database. This follows the Principle of Least Privilege as recommended by Google. Roles/bigtable.admin gives permissions to administer all instances in a project, which is not needed by a data scientist. Roles/bigtable.user provides read and write permissions but data scientist do not need read permission. There is no predefined role called roles/bigtable.owner.
