Code sample

Go

Before trying this sample, follow the Go setup instructions in the BigQuery quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the BigQuery Go API reference documentation.

To authenticate to BigQuery, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for client libraries.

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"cloud.google.com/go/bigquery"
)

// revokeDatasetAccess updates the access control on a dataset to remove all
// access entries that reference a specific entity.
func revokeDatasetAccess(projectID, datasetID, entity string) error {
	// projectID := "my-project-id"
	// datasetID := "mydataset"
	// entity := "[e-mail]"
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := bigquery.NewClient(ctx, projectID)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("bigquery.NewClient: %w", err)
	}
	defer client.Close()

	ds := client.Dataset(datasetID)
	meta, err := ds.Metadata(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	var newAccessList []*bigquery.AccessEntry
	for _, entry := range meta.Access {
		if entry.Entity != entity {
			newAccessList = append(newAccessList, entry)
		}
	}

	// Only proceed with update if something in the access list was removed.
	// Additionally, we use the ETag from the initial metadata to ensure no
	// other changes were made to the access list in the interim.
	if len(newAccessList) < len(meta.Access) {

		update := bigquery.DatasetMetadataToUpdate{
			Access: newAccessList,
		}
		if _, err := ds.Update(ctx, update, meta.ETag); err != nil {
			return err

	}
	return nil
