Enable your organization principals to use tags

This document describes how to grant the Data Catalog tagTemplateUser role to principals. You can do this after you create a Data Catalog tag template in your resource project. This enables them to create metadata, that is, use your template to tag data resources. For more information, see Attaching tags to Google Cloud resources.

The next section shows how to grant the tagTemplateUser role.

Grant the `tagTemplateUser` role

Console

To grant the Data Catalog tagTemplateUser role to a principal on a project, do the following:

Go to IAM in the Google Cloud console and click the edit () button at the right of the principal's listing.
In the Edit permissions dialog, click ADD ANOTHER ROLE, then click the Select a role drop-down list.
In the Filter box, insert Data Catalog TagTemplate User to display this role, then select it and click SAVE.

Java

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

To authenticate to Data Catalog, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

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

To authenticate to Data Catalog, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

REST & CMD LINE

REST

If you do not have access to Cloud Client libraries for your language or want to test the API using REST requests, see the following examples and refer to the Data Catalog REST API documentation.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

project-id: Google Cloud project ID
template-id: the tag template ID

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://datacatalog.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/region/tagTemplates/template-id:setIamPolicy

Request JSON body:

{
  "policy":{
    "bindings":[
      {
        "role":"roles/datacatalog.tagTemplateUser",
        "members":[
          "user:username@gmail.com"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://datacatalog.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/region/tagTemplates/template-id:setIamPolicy"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://datacatalog.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/region/tagTemplates/template-id:setIamPolicy" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "version":1,
  "etag":"xxxxx.....",
  "bindings":[
    {
      "role":"roles/datacatalog.tagTemplateUser",
      "members":[
        "user:username@gmail.com"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
