Overview

A common scenario is where a Google Cloud Data Sharing Partner has proprietary datasets that customers can use for their analytics use cases. Customers need to subscribe to this data, query it within their own platform, then augment it with their own datasets and use their visualization tools for their customer facing dashboards. This enables Data Sharing Partners to simplify and accelerate how they build and deliver value from data-driven solutions.

Through integration with Google Cloud IAM, you can set permissions on BigQuery objects to enable access by users inside or outside of organizations. In this lab, you will learn how to use authorized views in BigQuery to share customer specific data from a Data Sharing Partner. You will be given three projects: the Data Sharing Partner project which owns the dataset, and two separate and distinct customers who will access a subset of the dataset from their respective projects. Customers will list customer information specific to their state.

Objectives

In this lab, you will:

• Copy datasets from an Data Sharing Partner project to a customer’s BigQuery project

• Restrict datasets from the Data Sharing Partner project for consumption by a specific customer

• Coalesce the dataset provided by the Data Sharing Partner with a customer’s own dataset to enhance business intelligence

Setup and Requirements

Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources are made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

• Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).

Note: Use an Incognito (recommended) or private browser window to run this lab. This prevents conflicts between your personal account and the student account, which may cause extra charges incurred to your personal account.

• Time to complete the lab—remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.

Note: Use only the student account for this lab. If you use a different Google Cloud account, you may incur charges to that account.

How to start your lab and sign in to the Google Cloud console

1. Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a dialog opens for you to select your payment method. On the left is the Lab Details pane with the following:

   • The Open Google Cloud console button

   • Time remaining

   • The temporary credentials that you must use for this lab

   • Other information, if needed, to step through this lab

2. Click Open Google Cloud console (or right-click and select Open Link in Incognito Window if you are running the Chrome browser).

   The lab spins up resources, and then opens another tab that shows the Sign in page.

   Tip: Arrange the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.

   Note: If you see the Choose an account dialog, click Use Another Account.

3. If necessary, copy the Username below and paste it into the Sign in dialog.

    "Username"
   

   You can also find the Username in the Lab Details pane.

4. Click Next.

5. Copy the Password below and paste it into the Welcome dialog.

    "Password"
   

   You can also find the Password in the Lab Details pane.

6. Click Next.

   Important: You must use the credentials the lab provides you. Do not use your Google Cloud account credentials.

   Note: Using your own Google Cloud account for this lab may incur extra charges.

7. Click through the subsequent pages:

   • Accept the terms and conditions.

   • Do not add recovery options or two-factor authentication (because this is a temporary account).

   • Do not sign up for free trials.

After a few moments, the Google Cloud console opens in this tab.

Note: To access Google Cloud products and services, click the Navigation menu or type the service or product name in the Search field.

5. Click in the Dataset field and select customer_a_dataset.

6. In the Table field, type customer_a_table.

7. Click Save. You should now be able to see the dataset and table, as well as query it.

Now you will join the data from Customer A's authorized view to the customer specific dataset to generate new insights.

8. Run the following query to find all customers in a State. Since the authorized view available to Customer A is filtered on the state of Texas, the query should return only customers in that state.

SELECT geos.zip_code, geos.city, cust.last_name, cust.first_name
FROM `qwiklabs-gcp-00-6aaa9bdf7dde.customer_a_dataset.customer_info` as cust
JOIN `qwiklabs-gcp-00-168f170025ef.demo_dataset.authorized_view_a` as geos
ON geos.zip_code = cust.postal_code;

Your results should resemble the following:

9. Run the following query to confirm only Customer A's specific data is visible.

SELECT * FROM `qwiklabs-gcp-00-168f170025ef.demo_dataset.authorized_view_b`

You should receive the following error:

Access Denied: Table qwiklabs-gcp-04-b39db6c444b1:demo_dataset.authorized_view_b: User does not have permission to query table qwiklabs-gcp-04-b39db6c444b1:demo_dataset.authorized_view_b.
