Bigtable OAuth scopes

This page lists the OAuth scopes that enable other Google Cloud resources to connect to Bigtable.

However, some Google Cloud products, such as Compute Engine and Dataflow, have the ability to connect to Bigtable by letting you specify OAuth scopes. To make this work, you need to specify the appropriate OAuth scopes when you create resources such as Compute Engine virtual machine instances. Be sure to enable access to Bigtable when you create your resource.

When you set up your resources for a Google Cloud product, choose the most restrictive scopes that will support your application's requirements. You cannot change the scopes after you create a resource.
