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.
Bigtable supports the following scopes:
Scope URI for gcloud
Description
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.admin
Alias for both bigtable.admin.instance and bigtable.admin.table.
