Overview
BigQuery ML uses Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage access to model resources. To grant access to a model resource, assign one or more IAM roles to a user, group, or service account. BigQuery ML's permissions are incorporated into the IAM roles.
This page provides details on BigQuery ML IAM permissions and roles. For more information on access controls in BigQuery, see the BigQuery access control page.
