Hi
I'm struggling with my PBI Data analysts using GCP bigquery projects dataset , regarding data quality & warnings
Since april 21 BQ native connector needs :
Please , on which logs ( power bi log , simba odbc bq (the subcontractor & his techno) etc.. ) can I get the proof for my far away BQ service , one of the 3 rights is missing ?
Thanks a lot and best regards

Hi, @Bamak
If you can’t get the data, it’s a permission problem with the data source. You need to ask the administrator to grant you some permissions for BigQuery.
Reference:
Predefined roles and permissions | BigQuery | Google Cloud

Hi -Janey
Thanks I read the doc several time
But with what kind of nighmare please , these permissions missing are not monitored on power bi deskop ?
Why no provide a pre check control as power bi must be the tower control of data quality
- no warning
- no popup
- nothings in the logs
How to warn PBI developper ?
Best regards
Hi, @Christophe93
There are many data sources that powerbi can connect to, and every situation is not necessarily the same. In any case, powerbi doesn't have the right to see what kind of permission you have on the source data. This is also the security policy of powerbi.

Hi
Same problem on my side ... "silent" bad integration if permissions are missing
